Settlement of Old Ryazan

The settlement of Old Ryazan is located on the high bank of the Oka River, 50 kilometers south of modern Ryazan. Now here you can see a large plateau on the steep bank of the Oka, surrounded by earthen ramparts. In the 13th century, wooden fortress walls towered on them. In the 13th century Ryazan was one of the largest cities in Russia.
