Pereslavl-Zalessky, also known as Pereyaslavl-Zalessky is an ancient  town in the Province of Yaroslavl, located on the main Moscow–Yaroslavl road and on the southeastern shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo at the mouth of the Trubezh River.
The town was founded by Prince Yury Dolgoruky in 1152. In 1302, it became a part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Pereslavl-Zalessky was devastated numerous times by the Mongols between the mid-13th century and the early 15th century. In 1611–1612, it suffered from the Polish invasion.
