This is a monastery of the 14th century, completely destroyed by the Tatar-Mongols in 1382 and rebuilt again. Acted as a monastery until 1744, and then became the residence of the archbishop. Now on the territory of the monastery there is a natural-historical museum-reserve, which works only in the summer.
Since Pereslavl-Zalessky is included in the Golden Ring routes, the Goritsky Monastery is quite visited, but not too crowded, it is very pleasant to wander around it in August, when it smells of apples and fragrant chamomile from everywhere. The condition of the buildings of the reserve, frankly, is not the best, the museum complex is happy with any penny, judging by the abundance of paid expositions inside, many of which are almost not thematically related to Pereslavl or the history of the monastery.
