Sightseeing of Ukraine. Sights of Crimea

Ukraine in picturesUkraine sightseeing

Ukraine is a beautiful country with a rich history. A thousand years ago Kiev (capital of Ukraine) was a capital of Russia (Kievan Rus). Medieval fortresses and castles are mostly concentrated in Western Ukraine: Kamianets-Podilsky, Khotyn, Mukachevo (The Palanok Castle). Royal Palaces are concentrated in Crimea: Livadia Palace, Massandra Palace... In the end of 19-th c. and beginning of 20-th century Crimean peninsula (Yalta) was a summer capital of Russia. Russian Tsars spent 1-3 months in Yalta almost every year...
