Hi LGs!!!
My post is a response to #TeamChallenge 'Showcase your country' by @ermest from #TeamBelarus.
My story is about Viciebsk, which is considered the cultural capital of Belarus due to the annual festival "Slavianski bazaar in Vitebsk", a strong art school and its greatest representative, the world-famous avant-garde artist Marc Chagall. Honestly, the sights of this city I could not fit in 5 points, as I did before, but increased to 7. Well, let's get acquainted with the 7 wonders of Viciebsk. So let's go !!!
Number two on my list wonders of Viciebsk is already mentioned Viciebskaja ratuša. This building is a symbol of the independence and prosperity of Viciebsk, because they built the town hall only in the city that had the Magdeburg Law. There were the fire tower, court, bank, police department in Viciebskaja ratuša at different times. At the moment, in the town hall the local history museum is located.
The next sight on my list is Śviata-Vaskrasienskaja carkva. It was also destroyed in 1936 and rebuilt in 2008 modeled on the church of the 18th century. I especially like the domes of the church of an unusual shape.
Another wonder of Viciebsk is Kaścioł Śviatoj Barbary. This is a baroque catholic church of 1785. In 1884-1885, the church was rebuilt in the Neo-Romanesque style. In 1935 this church was closed, the building was used as a warehouse, after the Second World War the church was destroyed. Only in the 90s of the 20th century Kaścioł Śviatoj Barbary was returned to the parishioners. This church is just a find among the urban landscape, especially when you consider that most of the churches are Orthodox. On Sundays, organ music concerts are held at Kaścioł Śviatoj Barbary.
My dear friends, I will be very glad if my post interests you and Viciebsk appears in the list of your tourist routes !!!

Hi @Ant_Bad_Yogi,
thank you very much for your kind words. I am very glad that you rated my item number 4. This church is really beautiful. Unfortunately, I did not attend an organ concert on Sundays, although I really like organ music. I hope in the future I will be able to do this.

@katydarhel спасибо большое, Катерина за замечательный рассказ о Витебске. Я много слышала об этом городе от моего отца, поскольку он провёл в этом городе три года будучи в армии. У меня сохранились несколько старых фотографий, но опять же только из армейской жизни, а теперь я узнала о самом городе. 🍁
