View along one side of the
medieval earthen rampart built on top of an already steep bluff to protect
Plyos. But it didn't stop the Mongols from sacking the village.

Monument in the medieval kremlin
grounds on top of the high bluff in middle of Plyos. Part of the rampart is
visible through the trees. The town forms a horseshoe around this bluff with
most of the town on lower ground by the river on either side.
