Vologda is one of the most known ancient cities of Russian North. During all the centuries of its existence the city has managed to keep a significant part of its cultural legacy. The history and culture of Vologda still attracts many researchers and amateurs of Russian history, both from Russia and other countries. The findings of modern archaeological research allow speaking about appearance of a large, urban type settlement on the Vologda River only in the middle of XIII century. Origin and initial history of the city are tightly connected with colonization of remote northern areas of Ancient Russia.
