An Englishman in Ryazan (Англичанин в Рязани)

I plan to visit every single oblast, krai and republic in Russia before I leave.

This is number 22: The city of Ryazan in Ryazan Oblast

Ryazan is the center of Ryazan Oblast. With its 525 thousand population Ryazan is the 3rd largest city in Central Russia after Moscow and Yaroslavl. As an industrial center and a transport hub, Ryazan is not a major tourist destination. But its history and several attractions make the city a good solution for a weekend escape from Moscow. The city was founded in 1095 AD, but its initial site was completely destroyed by Mongols in 1237 - Ryazan was the first obstacle on their way of conquering Russia. Years after the new Ryazan was built few dozen kilometers away from the destroyed site.
