Novgorod, Hanse and Veche, 1400

This is Novgorod at the height of its trading power and republican life, where boyar wealth, Byzantine church culture and Hanseatic commerce meet on the Volkhov. The walk shows the Detinets and St Sophia's silver domes, the Peterhof and Gotland yards, the crowded bridge markets and the timber streets lit by icons and lamp smoke.

25 scenes, 16 streets, squares and views, 9 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Veliky Novgorod as it stood in 1400 (“Novgorod Republic”).
