The 1668 Cathedral dome is being restored and the iconostasis and frescos are magnificent inside. Outside the nuns tend beautiful flower gardens and a variety of apple trees. The outside of the church features many beautiful frescoes and it is not surprising that the site is being considered by UNESCO for World Heritage status. You need to wear a skirt and scarf if you're female which will be provided to you at the gate if necessary.

The city's Catholic cathedral where parishioners will often be singing. The original frescoes survived World War II remarkably well. It is very beautiful inside.
Main square of the city. Good city view. Location of the Town hall with small museum inside.
Masterpiece of constructivism, built in 1935, looks like House of Parliament in Minsk. Located on the Lenin Square with Lenin monument.
A war memorial chiefly to the World War II soldiers and civilians who defended the city for 23 days in July 1941 when Belarus was part of the USSR. Few survived, it's estimated 82,000 Russians and 30,000 Germans perished. The USSR took back the city in 1944. Military reporter Konstantin Simonov was one of the few survivors. He wrote about the events he witnessed and willed that when he died his ashes be scattered on the field. In the central red brick chapel is Foucault’s pendulum, a tribute to the fallen defenders of Mogilev. Not far away is the Lake of Tears symbolising the grief of bereaved women.
