The Kovrov Merchants' Rows were built in 1892–1893. By the beginning of the 20th century, Kovrov became one of the most important industrial centres of the Vladimir region. The town had an iron foundry, a sawmill, several brick factories, and in 1916, it saw the start of construction of Russia's largest machine-gun factory. The industry development drove the city's growth. It was time when the Merchants' Rows were established.

This street is the main tourist street of Vladimir. You will often find various festivals and fairs taking place on Georgievskaya Street. You'll be thrilled to find a wonderful selection of Vladimir souvenirs and even antique items in the souvenir shops located on the street.

The Museum's key historical expositions are The Kovrov Land from Ancient Times to the 19th Century, The Chief Town of Kovrov at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries, and Forever in People's Memory, a military history exposition

The monument to the Holy Blessed Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia can be seen near the walls of the Svyato-Troitsky Convent, in the Convent Glade.

The monument to Peter and Fevronia was unveiled on 7 July 2012 on the Krestyanina Square, between the Svyato-Troitsky Convent and the Blagoveshchensky Monastery. In ancient times on the Convent Glade there was the Prince's Court, so the monument is a symbolic return of the holy prince and princess to the place where they lived.

The two-metre bronze sculpture is mounted on a granite pedestal of the same height. The monument was created by Vladimir Surovtsev, a People's Artist of Russia at his own expense.
