Called Zagorsk during the Soviet era, the 1st stop of the Golden Ring (70 km from Moscow, accessible by suburban train) is the beating heart of Russian orthodoxy. Nicknamed the Orthodox Vatican, the city is home to the Monastery of the Holy Trinity founded by St. Sergius of Radonezh (the patron saint of Russia who still rests there and is the subject of pilgrimages), which is today the seat of the Patriarchate of Russia. Its Trinity Cathedral, with its blue domes, is one of the most beautiful in the entire Slavic world. The city is home to magnificent fortifications and churches commissioned by Ivan the Terrible, as well as the Toy Museum with thousands of exhibits
