The first mention of Rostov can be found in the Primary Chronicle under the year 862 when it was mentioned as a city ruled by Ryurik and a centre of the Merya people. This date is considered the official date of the city's foundation and makes Rostov one of the most ancient of Russian cities.

Rostov's most famous sight is of course its Kremlin which is located in the very centre of the city. It was built between 1670 and 1683 on the orders of Metropolitan Iona Sysoevich of Rostov and Yaroslavl to serve as a new residence for himself. Even though the strong fortified walls and 11 towers were really more for decorative purposes rather than defensive ones, the new residence nevertheless started to be referred to as a kremlin.
