Tver is a picturesque cozy city, located just 167 km from Moscow. For the first time, Tver is mentioned in 1135. Initially, she was just a fortress, but subsequently was attached already in the status of the city to Vladimir-Suzdal Lands. And in 1247, Tver becomes an independent principality headed by Prince Yaroslav Tverskova, Alexander Nevsky's brother. Gradually developing and acquiring increasing significance, Tver turns into the Central City of Vladimir Rus. The next 200 years, Tver constantly competed with Moscow for the right to be considered the capital of Russia. Obviously, this explains some similarity of the historical parts of these two cities.
