Bison is the largest representative of the fauna. In the XVIII century, as a result of deforestation, the number of this species declined sharply. He only met in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. In 1921 the last bison was killed. And only in 1946, work began on its restoration. Currently, the population of the species is more than 500 individuals.

Mogilev Museum of Local Lore

The first replenishment of the collection took place in 1928-1929, when many exhibits from the antiquarian fund of the USSR were transferred to the museum: items made of precious metals and stones, icons, books, paintings, as well as a silver mace of the Polish King Sigismund III. But the most valuable and unique thing was the national relic of Belarus - the cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk. He, among other especially rare valuables, was hidden in an armored safe room.

During the Great Patriotic War, the museum burned down along with the exhibits, and everything that survived in the safe room was lost. As a result, he lost all his funds. After the war, for their restoration, the museums of Leningrad and Moscow allocated part of their exhibits.

Now the museum stores more than 300 thousand exhibits, including finds of local archaeological sites, coins, objects of worship and everyday life, painting. They make up the exposition of the museum, which is divided into four main departments: "Archaeology and ancient history”, “Nature of the region”, “Soviet period” and “History of the pre-Soviet period”.

Initially, the purpose of this square, which arose in the first half of the 16th century, was trade. That is why instead of buildings this territory was occupied by merchant shops. Two streets still extend from the square, which form the radial system of the city's layout.

After the annexation of Mogilev to Russia, it was decided to give the square a new look, which was developed by eminent Russian architects. Instead of malls the buildings of the medical council, the lower court and the archives were located on it.

The modern appearance of the square was formed only at the end of the 20th century, when the center architectural ensemble became the memorial complex "Fighters for Soviet Power". It includes the Eternal Flame, a bronze sculpture in the form of a female figure, symbolizing the image of Victory standing on it, and mass grave Red Army soldiers who defended the city in 1920 from Polish troops. From the south and west, the square closes the square.

Cathedral Church of St. Stanislaus

The Cathedral Church of St. Stanislaus is shrouded in secrets. Previously, this monument of art and architecture of the XVIII century was called the Church of the Assumption Mother of God and belonged to the Carmelite Order, known since the 12th century. Carmelites appeared in Mogilev in the 17th century, and the local monastery became a kind of branch of their Belynichi monastery.

For a whole century, a wooden church stood on the site of the current stone church. There is either a legend, or a true story about the case, the result of which was the decree of the Polish king "the inhabitants of the city must sort out everything stone buildings and from this stone to build a church...". The foundation of the building of stones of various sizes speaks in favor of this legend. The construction of the stone church was completed in 1752, and since 1773 it became a cathedral.

From the point of view of architecture, the Church of St. Stanislaus is an example of Western European Baroque. True, the architecture of the church, rebuilt, for example, at the end of the 18th century, was decorated with a classic 4-column portico. One of the most complete and professionally executed Belarusian pictorial cycles on the gospel story has been preserved here. The frescoes, which have an unequivocal artistic value, date from the second half of the 18th century and were made by Belarusian artists.
