Kolomna is a very picturesque and quiet town. It’s cozy and clean. The town is situated on the banks of three rivers: the Oka, the Moskva and the Kolomenka. Kolomna is not far from Moscow, it is one of the biggest towns in Moscow Region. Its population is about 200 thousand people.

         Kolomna is mysteriously ancient and strikingly modern at the same time. The town was founded in 1177. The Old Kolomna is a must-see part of the town: it has much to remember and much to tell. The Kremlin was built in the 16th century and had 17 towers, 7 of which have been preserved up to present. Marinkina Tower is one of them. It made of brick. Tower’s height is thirty-one meters. Its diameter is eleven meters. Many years ago this tower had another name – Kolomenskaya. In 1611-1612 Marina Mnishek lived in Kolomna. She was Lzhedmitriy the first’s wife and then she was Lzhedmitriy the second’s wife. After expulsion of Poles from Moscow she had been shut up in the Tower, where she dead. So people have named this tower Marinkina Tower. There are a lot of monuments inside the Kremlin. Kolomna is famous for its churches and cathedrals: the Resurrection Church, the Assumption Cathedral, Tikhvinskaya Church, the Novo-Golutvin Monastery, the Brusensky Convent and so on. Each of them has its own history.

         The people of Kolomna are proud of their famous compatriots such as Russian novelist Ivan Ivanovich Lazhechnikov. He run away from his home to the French War when he was a young man. After that he wrote the book “The recruit of 1812”. 48 people of Kolomna were decorated with medals in the years of the Great Patriotic War. 14,000 people died in the war with fascism. In the centre of the town the eternal flame was erected in honour of these people.

         It takes you only 15 minutes to get from the old part of our town to the new one, where there are lots of places to play, to see, to eat, to shop and to go after dark.
