Yaroslav's Court

The trading side of the river opposite the kremlin held the Novgorod marketplace and the veche square, and the name goes back to the court of Yaroslav the Wise. Crowded onto a small plot are St Nicholas Cathedral, begun in 1113, and churches of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries dedicated to St Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, the Dormition on the Marketplace, the Myrrh-Bearing Women and St Prokopy. On the west the ensemble is closed by the eighteenth-century arcade of the merchant yard, all that is left of the trading rows.
