Камʼянець-Подільський

Камʼянець-Подільський це неймовірне місто. Перша згадка про нього датується 1062 р, а на території міста були знайдені поселення ще IV-II століття до нашої ери.

Мабуть, навіть тоді, людей приваблював унікальний природний ландшафт: з усіх сторін місто оточене річкою Смотрич, яка утворила каньйон з неприступними, скелястими берегами.

Старе місто це справжня фортеця. Навколо нього були збудовані укріплення. Частина з них збереглася.

В середині, місто також наповнене історією культур і епох.

Головна рекомендація — скористатися послугами гіда, щоб не бути схожим на туриста, якому присвячена ця скульптура.

My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, the city of Kamianets-Podilskyi (Кам'янець-Подільський) in Khmelnytskyi Oblast. Its name is derived from an Old Slavic word, kamin, which means 'stone' and from the historic region known as Podilia. The literal meaning of the name is 'The Stones of Podilia.' It's believed by some historians that there was an earlier city built on the same spot by the Dacians, an ancient people from what is now Romania, Moldova, and parts of Ukraine. The earliest mention of the current city is from 1062. In 1241, it was destroyed by the Mongols. In 1352, it came under Polish rule. The castle in the city (which I posted about earlier in the🧵) was expanded by the Polish kings to guard against the Ottoman & Tatar invasions. Though, in 1672, the city did become part of the Ottoman Empire for a short while. It was returned to Polish rule in 1699. In 1793, after the Second Partition of Poland, the city became part of the "russian" empire. During WWI, it was occupied by Austria-Hungary in 1915. When the "russian" empire collapsed in 1917, it came under the control of the Ukrainian People's Republic and was chosen as its capital when Kyiv was captured by the Bolsheviks. In 1921, it came under the control of the soviet union until 1991, when Ukraine declared its independence.
