| Minsk is an ancient town, the first mention of which goes back to 1067. Now it is a capital of a young European country - the Republic of Belarus. Many times during its 900 year history it was burned fully, ruined by the conquerors, but again and again it rose from the ruins, every time renewing its appearance. That is why very often it is compared to the mythical bird Phoenix, which is revived to Life. Today it is a big industrial and cultural center with a population of about 2 million people. Beautiful and beloved by its inhabitants and by all Belarussians, it is attractive in every season of the year. Let's get to know this special town, so romantic and magic as it was seen by Belorssian photoartists. Please enjoy your stay... |
