Walking tour of Myadel: exploring the city.

Description

A walking tour of Myadel offers a fascinating introduction to one of the oldest cities in Belarus, rich in historical and cultural monuments.


The route starts from the X-XIII century hillfort, a unique archaeological site located on the picturesque peninsula of Lake Myastro. This place preserves the memory of the life and battles of our ancestors, and its powerful ramparts and ditches are impressive even today.


Next, the path leads to the Myadel Museum of National Glory, where more than 41 thousand exhibits are collected. Ten themed halls immerse you in the history of the region: from ancient artifacts and military events to traditional life and famous countrymen.


Nearby is the first monument in Belarus to the national poet Maxim Tank, a three-meter bronze sculpture with symbolic bronze pages.


The temples of Myadel occupy a special place in the tour. The majestic Holy Trinity Church, restored in 2006, impresses with its white-stone grandeur and views of Lake Myastro.

And the Church of Our Lady of Shkaplernaya, built in the 18th century in the Baroque style, towering on a hill, is an integral part of the panorama of the city.


The route ends at the Myadel Calvary, one of the most famous pilgrimage complexes in Europe, where you can walk the symbolic path of Christ to Golgotha.


A walking tour of Myadel is more than just sightseeing.

This is a journey through the ages, which allows you to feel the connection of times and better understand the soul of this amazing region.
