Yesterday we toured St. Dimitrius Cathedral (shown here), which was built in 1197, as well as a museum complex and the Assumption Cathedral (built in 1160). (More about these places here.) A teacher friend of mine in Mansfield (where I teach in Texas) is a member St. Seraphim Russian Orthodox congregation in Dallas and their church building is a smaller scale replica of St. Dimitrius in Vladimir. (I have taken my Russian students on a field trip to St. Seraphim the last two years.)
