Russia, Pskov
Pskov is an ancient city located in the north-west of Russia. The name of the city, originally spelled "Pleskov", may be loosely translated as "the town of purling waters". Pskov still preserves much of its medieval walls, built from the 13th century on. The Krom, or medieval citadel, looks as impressive as ever. Pskov is exceedingly rich in tiny, squat, picturesque churches, dating mainly from the 15th and the 16th centuries. There are many dozens of them. Pskov is served by Pskov Airport which was also used for military aviation.
