Polotsk, Belarus: A Thousand-Year-Old City with a Historical Imprint
One of the oldest cities in Belarus, Polotsk is located in the northwestern part of the country on the banks of the river Sidevina, with a history dating back to 947 AD, and is known as the "Cradle of Eastern Slavonia". As the capital of the important principality of Kievan Rus', it was once the hub of Baltic trade and witnessed the early development of East Slavic civilization. The city's St. Sophia Cathedral (11th century) is the oldest surviving Orthodox building in Belarus, a blend of Byzantine and Romanesque styles, while the St. Evfimiev Monastery carries the rich memories of medieval religion and culture. Today, a walk through the stone streets of Polotsk is a must for anyone who wants to discover the roots of Belarusian history, as you can still feel the tranquility and vicissitudes of a thousand-year-old city.
