Visiting Borodino

Today we got up earlier than we should after all the exams, but it's not that bad. We needed the time for the excursion to Borodino. We went there with the buses and went around the place with them. I mean we stopped at most of the memorable spots of the battlefield to see the monuments.

It was mostly a huge field with 3-4 interesting places.
This is the place where Napoleon had his camp.

This is the main monument. Made of iron, they said.

We visited a museum too, where personal belongings of the commanders were displayed and other stuff about the battle.
The most interesting part of the museum was the map with the armies and lights to indicate where they were and what happened.

And we visited the Spaso-Borodinsky Monastery which is ont the field. Obviously it was built after the battle.
