"Kilometre Zero" of the Golden Ring: a Reference Point for the Route

The Monument to "Kilometre Zero" against the walls of the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery was unveiled in Yaroslavl in 2013. But its basis is a cast-iron column of the XIX century, found during excavations in the city. The monument symbolizes the starting point of the "Golden Ring" tourist route.

In 1912, Emperor Nicholas II noted, in one of his decrees, the important role of Yaroslavl in the formation of the people’s militia in 1612 and during the Polish intervention at the height of the Time of Troubles. In his decree, he offered the residents of Yaroslavl to have an extra day off every year on May 24. An extract from this decree is engraved on a metal bas-relief on the pedestal of the monument. The basis of the "Kilometre Zero" also contains tablets with quotations from a Song about Yaroslavl, with its coat of arms and a symbolic map of the Golden Ring. There are also tablets mounted in the ground around the monument depicting the coats of arms of all ancient cities through which the "Golden Ring" route passes. The column itself contains pointers showing the distance to these cities.
