Attractions

The Annunciation Church is one of the country's oldest structures. This beautiful six-pillared structure comes from the Kievan Rus period, when the city was pagan and did not belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, or the Kievan Rus kingdom. It was established as a pagan church in the 1140s, reconstructed as a Roman Catholic church in the 14th and 17th centuries, renovated in 1883, and demolished by the Communist regime in 1961. The church remained in ruins until 1992, when it was restored to its ostensibly original state.

Churches from the Polish-Lithuanian era were also demolished, however the Resurrection Church (1772–77) was restored. In 1760, the Orthodox cathedral dedicated to the Intercession of the Theotokos was built. There's also the town hall (1775), the Russian governor's residence, where Napoleon celebrated his 43rd birthday in 1812, the Neo-Romanesque Roman Catholic church (1884–85), and an obelisk marking the 100th anniversary of Russia's triumph over Napoleon.

In Vitebsk, there is also a lattice steel TV tower with a horizontal cross on which the antenna mast is guyed. This tower, which is virtually identical to the one in Grodno but a few meters shorter (245 meters in Vitebsk against 254 meters in Grodno), was finished in 1983. The Marc Chagall Museum and the Vitebsk Regional Museum are both located in the city.
