==Surroundings== [[File:Ishnya Church 1687.jpg|thumb|[[Ishnya Church]] (1687β1689)]] The vicinity of Rostov is rich in old architecture. For example, [[Ishnya Church|an old wooden church]] (1687β1689) may be seen in [[Ishnya]]. One of the best preserved monasteries in Russia, named after the saints [[Boris and Gleb]], is situated in [[Borisoglebsky, Yaroslavl Oblast|Borisoglebsky]], about {{convert|20|km|sp=us}} west of the town. The monastery was favored by [[Ivan the Terrible]], who personally supervised the construction of towered walls and bell-tower around an even more ancient cathedral. The only addition made to the monastery after Ivan's death is a [[barbican]] church, commissioned by the metropolitan Iona Sysoyevich.
