Om
Raske fakta: Høytorp var middelalderens Minsk sitt politiske og religiøse hjerte, der byrådet og velstående handelsmenn slo seg ned. Tre tidligere byporter står fortsatt her: Oppstandelseskirkens port, bernardinerklosterets port og Helligåndskatedralens klokketårnport.
Høydepunkter: Ved den østlige kanten av torget står et rødt mursteinsrådhus rekonstruert i 2004, nøyaktig der originalen ble bygget etter at Minsk fikk Magdeburg-rettigheter i 1499. Står du på rådhusets trapp ved tolvtiden, kan du få med deg en liten gjenskapelse av byens middelalderske trompetsignal som en gang åpnet markedsdagene.
Insidertips
- Skip the tourist restaurants on the main square and walk two blocks down to Zybitskaya Street for better local food at half the price.
- The best photo spot is from the bell tower of the Holy Spirit Cathedral, which costs 3 BYN and gives a 360 degree view of the entire district.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes: the cobblestones are authentic 19th century and get slippery after rain.
- Check if there's a festival happening at the Town Hall square on weekends, they often have free craft markets and live folk music.
