Belarus Must-Sees

Belarus features diverse architectural landmarks, from the 11th-century foundations of Saint Sophia Cathedral in Polotsk to the Baroque grandeur of St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in Grodno. This collection includes the oldest operating theatre in the country, the UNESCO-listed Struve Geodetic Arc, and the Neo-Gothic ruins of the Pusłowski Palace. These sites represent centuries of history, including the influence of the Radziwiłł dynasty and the resilient restoration of Minsk’s historic City Hall and Holy Spirit Cathedral.
