Smolensk is one of the oldest cities in Russia. The city has been taken over by different countries more times than any other city in Russia, and so has its cultural background. Therefore there are many monuments from different epochs: the huge Kremland, many buildings dated back to the 18th to 19th centuries. 3 churches were built before the Tatar-Mongol invasion, which is rare. Due to many wars some of these buildings have been destroyed. The city leaves different feelings, but it is hard to leave the city feeling indifferent.
