History of Grodno

in photography •  7 years ago 

Grodno is known since the beginning of the XII century, when the city's prince Vsevolod was first mentioned in Russian annals. It was then that the city became known for the first time as the center of the Gorodensky principality - the princedom under the rule of the Old Russian state, which is considered the first form of statehood in the territory of Black Russia.

Grodno is a city that breathes history. This Belarusian regional center is often called the most European city of Belarus. And this statement is not unfounded. And the center of Grodno is generally a time machine: it seems that you are in the Middle Ages. We will walk around this wonderful city and appreciate its beauty in the photographs.

Farny church - a light, sublime building, next to which you simply penetrate the atmosphere of a medieval city.

The part that looks at Neman was once destroyed due to the spill, and so now it is built up of boards, but the second part has kept the unique brickwork, stone crosses and just whole boulders already from the 12th century! All these sights are easier to get out from the city side than from the bank of Neman, but to the Kolozhskaya church there is a steep stone staircase, and the role of steps is performed by large stones, so you can dilute your trip with a droplet of extreme.
