Central Park & Kostroma Kremlin Site
Центральный парк и Костромской кремль
A riverside park on the site of the former Kostroma Kremlin, with the Ostrovsky Pavilion and the Susanin monument, overlooking the Volga.
Central Park lies on the former site of the Kostroma Kremlin. The Kremlin's cathedral complex was destroyed in the 1930s, and in recent years the Ascension Cathedral and its bell tower have been rebuilt on the original spot. The park contains a monument to Ivan Susanin. On the riverbank, the Ostrovsky Pavilion is named after the playwright, who often gazed out over the Volga from here. It's the city's best viewpoint, especially beautiful at sunset. It's a few minutes' walk from the trading arcades, and admission is free.
