The city-fortress, reliable southern outpost of the Moscow principality, standing on the Nara River ... Serpukhov has a glorious centuries-old history, the starting point of which can be called 1339 - the date of the first mention of the city in the spiritual literacy of Ivan Kalita. His grandson, Prince Vladimir, was destined to glorify Serpukhov. Hero of the Kulikovo battle, Vladimir Brave laid the Kremlin, built the temples of the Vysotsky Monastery; the town was the center of the Serpukhov princely state.

By its location the city was inevitably drawn into the whirlpool of events of the next centuries: survived the raids of the Crimean Tatars, became the location of the regiments of the Russian army; in Peter's times became the largest in the field of industrial city; in the Patriotic War of 1812 gave the Motherland loyal defenders ... And these are only some of the pages of the bright and complex history of the city!
