The sights of Mogilev and the Mogilev region will be of interest to connoisseurs of history and Orthodox churches.

What to see in Mogilev?

Mogilev is not the best Big City with a population of over 300 thousand people. However, he has centuries of history, thanks to which on the streets of the city you can find a lot of interesting monuments architecture and culture.

The theater was completed in 1888. The building is built entirely of red brick in the Byzantine style. This building is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful in the city, and even a photo with a description cannot convey all its splendor. The theater hall can simultaneously accommodate up to 500 spectators. Premieres and performances are staged here today. At the entrance to the theater you can see an unusual sculpture. The bronze lady with the dog has already become calling card theater, for many it is associated with the Chekhov heroine, but according to the sculptor, to create a masterpiece, he was inspired by the image of Natalia Goncharova.

Among the most famous sights on the map of Mogilev is the Cathedral of the Three Hierarchs. It bears its name in honor of Gregory the Theologian, Basil the Great and John Chrysostom. The shape of the temple is surprising, it is made in the form of a huge cross and has 3 entrances from different sides. The church is active. Parishioners can see here a number of unique icons that have protected the city for many centuries. The temple was one of the favorite places to visit Nicholas II, who visited it during the First World War.

In 1961, the church was closed, the domes and the bell tower were demolished, and a factory club was set up in the building. Under the arches of the church, dance evenings and film screenings were held. And only after 3 decades, thanks to the efforts of Archbishop Maxim, the church was returned to believers. The temple was restored, icons and shrines returned here. In 1989, the church was re-lit and began to receive parishioners.

Among the interesting places in Mogilev that you must visit is the Church of St. Stanislaus. The baroque temple dates back to the 18th century. There is a unique collection of medieval frescoes, which have no analogues in the world. The history of the construction of the church is covered with secrets and inaccuracies. Some read that the temple was founded on the site of the murder of a local tyrant - an aristocrat who robbed the inhabitants and staged regular brawls.

The inhabitants of the city, tired of his attacks, killed the villain, and the king of Poland, angry, ordered the townspeople to build a temple on the site of the death of the nobleman. At the same time, the ruler ordered the use of bricks from the houses and stoves of the inhabitants for construction. Historians cannot confirm this legend, but the fact remains that bricks of various sizes were found in the foundation of the temple, and some of them were burned.

The shrine is on the list world heritage. The monastery is active. At the entrance to the monastery, the attention is drawn to the high stone fence and the faces of the saints that adorn the walls. When going on a tour, take care of proper clothes. Women in trousers and without a scarf are not allowed here, and men in a headdress. If you still didn’t have time to change clothes, you can take necessary clothes completely free at the entrance to the shrine.

On the territory there are St. Nicholas Cathedral, the Temple of Onuphrius the Great, a chapel, a bell tower and a housing for nuns. A special attraction here is the four-tiered iconostasis, which was created in the 17th century using a unique wood-carving technology. The iconostasis has been restored and is now presented in its original form. Surprisingly, the temple has the face of Nicholas II, who was canonized by the church in 2000.

There are holy burials in the courtyard. It was here that Archbishop Maxim and Abbess Evgenia were buried, thanks to whom the shrine was restored and returned to believers. Today, the church has a Sunday children's school and a youth choir.

Having been in Mogilev, you must definitely see the Palace of George Konissky. The glorious Archbishop G. Konissky lived and worked here, who gave 40 years of his life to the Belarusian people and Orthodox Church. The building, unfortunately, has only partially survived to this day, but this part is worthy of admiration.

During the years of the revolution, this unique house was inhabited by the working class. Much was looted and destroyed. Later, the building was returned to the church, and today there is a library and a museum. The archives of the library contain unique documents and photographs of the Romanov family.

About 100 years ago, in the jargon of people with weapons, the expression "send to the Mogilev province" meant "shoot". Having got on the Internet to the site of immigrants from Mogilev, I found that people remember their homeland, love the city and are keenly interested in news about it. Deciding that an uninteresting city would not cause such attention, when the opportunity arose, he went to the Mogilev province himself.
Mogilev meets with a clean and tidy railway station. Workers cleaning the territory (permanently) are dressed in branded bright overalls.

It can be seen that the main part of the improvement was completed recently, in recent years.

The city center starts here.
Local TV is located in an old building.

On main street mixing architectural styles. Houses here were built in different eras. One of the reasons for this is the repeated fighting on the territory of the city.

Mogilev enterprises are also here.
The Strommash plant has seen a lot in its lifetime.

Mogilevenergo building. Around him neat and clean.

It is possible that some of these people are involved in this.

So that people do not go too far, reading signs on houses, in Mogilev, it happens that they use symbols that are understandable to everyone.
Not approaching this modern building

you can understand that this is a court.

And here in the house is an art school.

Nothing surprising. The people here are educated.

The central square is rebuilt on a grand scale. Mogilev in the old days was considered as a candidate for the capital of Belarus, and this obliges a lot.

The building of the regional administration dominates the square and occupies a good half of it.

There are underground passages under the roadway. Their roofs are transparent,

therefore, it is convenient for Vladimir Ilyich, who is on duty at the entrance, to control whether the citizens entrusted to the leadership are doing something unnecessary underground.

There is also a huge scoreboard. Once again confirming that Belarus is a country of good people.

The area on which the city is located is hilly. The river Dubravinka flows along the bottom of one of the deep ravines. Its banks have been turned into a chic park.

Fountains spouting from the water column make the pond look like Lake Geneva in miniature.

Care of the city is visible all the time. A person who brings cleanliness is not uncommon. (In Russia, it often happens according to the saying "it's clean where they don't litter" And where we don't litter?...).

Very beautiful, and attracts attention from afar, the Art Museum.

named after P.V. Maslennikov.

Next to the museum church complex. This is the Cathedral of the Three Saints.

And sporty. The condition is usual for Belarus, that is, excellent.

For some reason, some citizens of Russia believe that Belarusians are striving to unite with Russia. (Some of them sit in the Duma or manage the country's finances). But here they have already decided their fate for a long time. And I understand them.

The economy in their country is completely different. Even from scraps of pipes they build an interesting sculpture.

And the well is carefully wrapped around with a pretty wattle fence.

In the very center there is a lot of space reserved for rest and festivities.
By the fountain

You can relax, leaning on the wings behind your back, looking into the familiar clearing between the clouds to see when they call for dinner.

Ride the kids.

Or play ball.

And at this sculpture, I slightly embarrassed the worker who was nearby, saying that I was photographing on a complaint, because. the legs of the sculpture were broken off on its site. She began to say that it had been a long time, she had not worked here yet ... I had to reassure her that I was joking.

In reviews about Belarus written by well-known Russian political scientists, analysts, bloggers and other writing fraternity, one can read that Belarus is clean, but boring. The line of reasoning goes something like this. It is more interesting in Moscow than in Mogilev (Brest, Bykhov, etc.). Moscow is Russia, Mogilev is Belarus. Therefore, it is more interesting in Russia than in Belarus. Probably, these authors, in order to better correspond to reality, need to use the words of a famous song and start something like this: "... I won't tell you for all of Russia, all of Russia is very large ..." That is, to compare Belarus with precisely that settlement, where they (almost all) live. And it is very difficult to compete with Moscow in terms of entertainment. The concepts of "fun", interesting pastime "and other important components of our life are subjective things. Everyone is looking for their own. Perhaps that is why, a native of Mogilev, now a popular showman, Boris Moiseev changed his place of residence. But some resident of N-ska, Russian city of the same size as Mogilev, is unlikely to find that Belarusian cities are of little interest and boring.
In the center of Mogilev there is a long pedestrian zone.

The place is very pleasant, conducive to a quiet walk and reflection (this is about yourself, a resident of Russia).

Mogilev University is located here.

An interesting composition with an astrologer.

You can make a wish by sitting in a chair corresponding to your zodiac sign.

This sign indicates the formation of the Belarusian Republican Youth Union.

Now in many post-Soviet countries trying to make part of the youth "for themselves." Belarus is no exception.

Near the building that now houses the School of Culture

rich and tragic history.

In Mogilev you can get hold of cheap gold

or a small movement to improve the financial situation.

Magnificent building near the Drama Theatre.

On the stairs is a lady with a dog.

In Mogilev, the majestic Catholic Church of St. Stanislaus. True, due to later development, it ended up inside the quarter.

I did not immediately understand what this sign means. (Until I read below).

In memory of the military victories of the Soviet troops, the Triumphal Arch was erected in the city.

Nearby is a monument to the commander, General Gusakovsky.

Mogilev. It has more than seven centuries of history, traces of which remain in the monuments. It's pretty handsome locality, which ranks fourth in terms of population in the country. To date, there is no clear version of the origin of the name of the city. However, as well as the exact date of its occurrence. Many historians adhere to the version that its name comes from the phrase "mighty lion". There are those who believe that the key word is "grave". But tourists are less interested in such details than in the sights of Mogilev.

Acquaintance with the city is recommended to start with historical center and Leninskaya street. This is where it is concentrated a large number of interesting buildings and monuments. It is not for nothing that Leninskaya Street is called The sights of Mogilev can be combined into one big list, which is headed by the City Hall. It was originally built of wood, but burned down in a big fire. 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 tiles, and the building was decorated, among other things, with two porches with gilded weathercocks. Currently, the building houses a museum of the history of the city.

Moving along Leninskaya Street, the sights of Mogilev can be supplemented with such a structure as the Archbishop's Palace. The building and bank of the Podzemelno-Peasant's is interesting. It is impossible not to notice such a majestic structure, as for the construction of which the place was chosen very carefully. As a result, it was decided to build it in the area of ​​​​the oldest square in the city - Muravyevsky, which locals now called Theatrical. In 1888 the building was lit.

But the sights of Mogilev do not end there. Leninskaya Street ends with the Square of Stars, in the center of which there is the only monument in the world to the Astrologer. It is a sundial indicating the signs of the zodiac. Apart from this place, it is interesting to take a walk along Sovetskaya Square. Here are the administrative offices of the city, the medical board and the district court. In addition, there is a local history museum.

What else to see, having arrived in the city of Mogilev? Attractions, photos of which are already presented, can be supplemented religious buildings. One of these is the Catholic Church - the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The building was built in the Baroque style in 1738. The interior and interior decoration of the temple include several frescoes made in the biblical style and located on the vaults.

For those who do not have enough interesting places in the city, you can see the sights of Mogilev and the Mogilev region. So, near the village of Buinichi there is a famous memorial Complex It is an arch connected by an alley with a chapel, the height of which is 27 meters. Its construction is made in the style of East Slavic architecture. There are walls made of light marble, on which hundreds of names of soldiers and militias are written. And in the village of Polykovichi there is the well-known in Belarus Polykovichskaya spring, which is also called the "miraculous spring". Near it is always quite crowded.
