The center of the Dmitrov Kremlin is decorated with a majestic and beautiful temple. It is primarily seen by all those who come to Dmitrov. The Assumption Cathedral is now existing, built at the very beginning of the XVI century, when the power was Prince Yuri Ivanovich - the brother of Basil III. Nevertheless, historians are increasingly converging in the opinion that in the XIV-XV centuries, under Prince Petr Dmitrievich, there was already a stone church here. Evidence of this fact is first of all the white stone cellars, which were discovered under the podle of the cathedral today.

The basis of a complex and exquisite composition is a five-headed brick four-pillared temple on a high basement. The features of the cathedral are facets of apses cut from the outside. To the right of the southern portal you can see a tiled round bas-relief. Its diameter is almost three meters. It depicts George the Victorious. Experts believe that the Assumption Cathedral is very similar to the Archangel and Assumption Cathedral in Moscow, which were built at the same time.
