Kolomenskoe truly is a historical place dating back to XIV century. One can spend all day exploring it and it will never be enough.

The palace of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov was built in 1672 on the territory of the Kolomenskoye homestead, and it was a monument to the success of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich in government.
