Pryluky. A Walk Through a Storied Town

Pryluky is the administrative, industrial and cultural centre of the Chernihiv region. Many architectural monuments have survived in the town, and through them one can picture the chronicle of one of the oldest cities of Ukraine. In the first part I told of a walk through the squares of the historic centre, with an account of its churches, public gardens and memorial signs. Other notable landmarks located in the northern part of the town also draw the traveller's eye. Half a kilometre from the central core of Pryluky, where the squares run one after another in a chain, lies yet another small square — Teatralna (Theatre) Square.

Pryluky. A Walk Around the Landmarks on the Town Squares

Pryluky is a district centre of the Chernihiv region whose main landmarks are concentrated on its squares, which flow into one another in a chain and make up the historic core of the town. If in other towns the tourist appeal lies in pedestrian streets, in Pryluky the pedestrian zone is formed by the restored squares on the site of the former citadel.
