Starocherkassk

Starocherkassk is it the capital of Don Cossacks. Once a fortified town of 20 000, it’s now a small village, with streets restored to their late 19th century appearance and still keeping the atmosphere of the past.

Formerly known as Cherkassk, now Rostov’s Starocherkassk, is a town which cherishes Cossack traditions. Today. All major attractions of the town are located on the territory of the Starocherkassk Historical and Archeological Open-Air Museum. Visiting this place is like stepping into a frozen era, where time has stopped and the past is in the present.
