Located on Istoricheskaya Ploschad (Historical Square) is Dmitrov’s kremlin – the centre of the city. Once a wooden kremlin stood here but that was destroyed in the 17th century, all that remains now is the earthen mounds and a 21st century reconstruction of its gates. However inside the 16th century Dormition Cathedral and the 19th century St Elizabeth's Church have been preserved. Around the kremlin mound are several nice statues of citizens in period dress going about their daily life.
