Located on the ancient trade route between Central Asia and Northern Europe, Novgorod was the first capital of Russia in the 9th century. Surrounded by churches and monasteries, Novgorod was a center of Orthodox spirituality and Russian architecture. Its medieval monuments and 14th-century frescoes by the Greek Theophanes (Andrei Rublev's teacher) demonstrate the development of its remarkable architectural and cultural creativity.
