In the southwest corner of the market place we see the Church of the Entry into Jerusalem (1707) on the right and the Church of St. Paraskeva (1772) on the left. The latter is also known as the Church of St. Nicholas. These two churches once formed a very attractive ensemble. They were originally surrounded by a low brick wall with unusual stone gates. The gates were crowned by a vaulted stone roof in the form of a cruciform bochka, or cask, a design borrowed from wooden architecture, with the result that each of the walls terminated in an ogee-shaped zakomara. Another important feature of the ensemble was the slender bell-tower with a concave tent-shaped spire standing between the two churches. It was one .of the oldest specimens of this type of Suzdalian bell-tower and a real architectural masterpiece with its simple lines and smooth surfaces, relieved only by the large decorative niches in the bell-tier and the purely ornamental window surrounds on the tent-shaped spire (the architect did not provide it with any small windows). The most interesting of the two surviving churches is the older one, the Church of the Entry into Jerusalem, which retains something of seventeenth century architecture and is similar in type to the Church of John the Baptist. The corners of the cube-shaped body of the church are also covered with pilaster strips, but its walls are more richly decorated. The windows have fine surrounds with particularly ornate tops. There is a rich frieze of small kokoshniks resting on consoles and the motif of blind arcading is repeated on the dome drum. The church originally had five domes.
