In ancient times Novgorod was divided in two parts that were situated on the opposite sides of the Volkhov River - the Sophia Side and the Trade Side. The Kremlin dominated the Sophia Side, while the Yaroslav's Court and the marketplace were the main locations on the Trade Side.
The Yaroslav's Court derives its name from Yaroslav the Wise who built his palace at this location. The palace was mentioned in the chronicles of Novgorod as one of the most magnificent in Russia. It was a political and economical center of the city. Since the 8th century the Yaroslav's Court was widely known as a site of international trade, the oldest in northern Europe. There were some 1, 500 stalls at the market in the 16th century. Merchants from Western Europe, the East and Byzantium were frequent visitors there. |
