Sights of Mogilev and its environs

On the banks of the mighty Dnieper stretches the regional city of Belarus Mogilev. It has more than seven centuries of history, traces of which have remained in architectural structures and monuments. This is a pretty beautiful settlement, which occupies the fourth place in terms of the population in the country. To date, there is no clear version of the origin of the city's name. However, as well as the exact date of its occurrence. Many historians adhere to the version that its name came from the phrase "mighty lion". There are also those who believe that the key word is the "grave". But such details of tourists are of less interest than the sights of Mogilev.

It is recommended to get acquainted with the city from the historical center and Leninskaya street. It is here that a large number of interesting buildings and monuments are concentrated. It's not for nothing that Lenin's street is called a "museum under the open sky". Sights of Mogilev can be combined into one large list, which is headed by the town hall. Originally it was built of wood, but with a large fire burned. In 1679 the construction of a stone town hall began, which lasted almost two decades. The building towered 46 meters above the ground and was significantly different from the previous one. Now the roof was covered with shingles, and the building was decorated, among other things, with two porches with gilded wind vanes. Currently, the building houses the museum of the history of the city.

Moving along Leninskaya Street, the attractions of Mogilev can be supplemented with such a structure as the Archbishop's Palace. Interesting is the building and the Bank of the Underground and Peasant. It is impossible not to notice such a majestic structure as the dramatic theater of Mogilev, for the construction of which the place was selected very carefully. As a result, he decided to build in the area of the oldest square of the city - Muravievsky, which the locals now call the Theater. In 1888, the building illuminated.

But this is not the end of the sightseeing of Mogilev. Leninskaya Street rests on the square of the Stars, in the center of which the world's only monument to Zvezdochet is installed. It is a sundial that indicates the signs of the zodiac. In addition to this place, it's interesting to stroll along the Soviet Square. Here are the administrative institutions of the city, the medical board and the district court. In addition, there is a museum of local lore.

What else to see when you come to the city of Mogilev? Attractions, photos of which have already been presented, can be supplemented with religious buildings. One of those is the Catholic Church - the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The building was built in the Baroque style in 1738.
