At the entrance to Uglich from the side of Rostov Veliky, on Rostovskaya Street, stands the elegant church of Tsarevich Dmitry "on the field." This stone temple was built between 1798 and 1814, but its appearance was preceded by a long history, which has become a legend.

On June 3, 1606, when the relics of Tsarevich Dmitry were being transported from Uglich to Moscow, the procession initially headed along the Moscow road. However, near the Ioanno-Bogoslovsky Monastery, the bearers of the relics unexpectedly stopped and did not move further. It was then decided to take the Rostov road. At the city exit, the procession stopped again so that the townspeople could bid farewell to the tsarevich. For a whole day, the clergy continuously held a service in the open air. During the Divine Liturgy, an event occurred that became the basis for the construction of a church at this site: a stream of blood flowed from the coffin containing Dmitry's relics onto the ground. The clergy collected the holy substance and placed it along with the earth in a silver reliquary. On July 3, the mourning procession arrived in Moscow, and the body of Tsarevich Dmitry was laid to rest in the Archangel Cathedral of the Kremlin. The people of Uglich found in him their protector and miracle worker. A chapel was soon built at the site of the farewell to the tsarevich.

In 1693, an old warm church from the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral was moved to the site of the chapel from the Kremlin, as a new one was being built in the Kremlin. This church stood for more than forty years until 1729, when a stone temple of Tsarevich Dmitry and Saints Cyricus and Julitta was erected in its place. Half a century later, the current church, known as the church of Dmitry "on the field," was built nearby. The consecration of the church in honor of the transfer of the relics of Tsarevich Dmitry was conducted by Archimandrite Palladius from the Uglich Alexeyevsky Monastery. Although the church is not an outstanding architectural monument, it is beautiful and significant as a historical shrine. Inside, there are preserved frescoes from 1836 and a rich collection of icons. Near the right choir, there is a reliquary with a part of the relics of Tsarevich Dmitry and a shroud, as well as an ark with the relics of Saint Prince Roman of Uglich. This prince, the third in Uglich, was renowned for his virtues and piety and was canonized as a local saint. His relics were discovered in 1495, and in 1595, he was universally glorified. In 1611, during the Polish-Lithuanian intervention, the relics were damaged by fire but were rediscovered by a luminous pillar above them. Since 1930, they were kept in the Uglich Museum, and in 1989, they were returned to the church. It is no coincidence that this church, dedicated to the heavenly patron of the city, has never been closed and remained the only functioning temple during the Soviet years.
