Upper Suburb is a historical microdistrict in Vologda, located in the North-Western part of the city on the right bank of the Vologda River.
Last fall, I explored and photographed all the night courtyards of this microdistrict, but this time I decided to take a walk during the day and look into those places where my foot had not set foot before.
Basically, I was interested in the temples located in this part of the city.
For some reason, it is in Upper Suburb that there are those churches that are very pleasing externally and attract spiritually.
I like the conical shape of the bell towers.
The Church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God is already low, so it is also closed to the view from all sides by buildings. It stands in the very center of the quarter.
But with the review at the Church of Constantine and Helena, things are a little better.
Such tiny little churches should be given more space for viewing. Although in the old days, most likely, there was enough space.
Previously, there was hardly such a dense building. And now there are no buildings higher than five floors.
This church stands closer to the main street of the microdistrict, so it is better seen as a whole.
Even from the courtyard of the neighboring quarter, this temple is visible.
While the previous church is gradually disappearing from sight, the view to the next one gradually opens.
The Church of St. John the Evangelist stands in a very comfortable place, but in itself is in poor condition.
I have already gone around all the places, but I never walked around churches, did not examine the architectural details and objects around.
And here there are some very interesting woodpile.
I know for sure that firewood was stacked this way before. I saw it in old pictures.
But the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is completely destroyed...
In this state, the temple is already very difficult to restore...
To be continued...
