About this Velikiy Novgorod map poster
Velikiy Novgorod lies on the Volkhov River, a few kilometres north of where the river leaves Lake Ilmen. The river cuts the city into two historic halves. The Sofia side on the west bank holds the kremlin, and the Trade side on the east bank grew around the old Yaroslav's Court. A footbridge joins them just below the kremlin walls, and on a map the pairing of the two banks is immediately clear.
On the Sofia side, streets fan out from the kremlin in a semicircle, crossed by curving roads that follow the line of earlier ramparts. The Trade side has its own arcs and a looser grid. Novgorod is one of the oldest cities in Russia, mentioned in chronicles from the ninth century, and UNESCO lists its medieval monuments together with the surrounding area.
Archaeologists here have recovered many medieval letters written on birch bark, kept intact by the waterlogged soil, and they record ordinary life in unusual detail. A Velikiy Novgorod map poster shows where that life took place. You can see the oval of the kremlin with the Cathedral of St Sophia inside it, the fan of streets and the slow bend of the river as it heads north toward Lake Ladoga.

Radial plan
Streets spread out from the kremlin like spokes, cut by semicircular roads. The pattern gives the western half of the city a distinctive fan shape that is easy to read at any size.
Volkhov and Ilmen
The river flows north out of Lake Ilmen, which lies just south of the city. Including the lake in the frame puts a broad expanse of water at the bottom of the poster.

Why Velikiy Novgorod
A map that means something
Many people come to Novgorod through its history, whether on a school trip, as scholars of medieval Rus or as descendants of families from the region. The map turns that interest into something you can hang on a wall and read again each time you pass it.
Keep the full title Velikiy Novgorod or shorten it, add a subtitle in any wording you like, and choose one of five styles. Paper and Sand bring out the old-map quality of the radial plan. HD files are $9, and printed posters ship from partners worldwide.
