About Vinnitsa |
|
The city was founded 640 years ago. Its name can be traced to the word "wine" - in the past, the city was very well known for its wine cellars. Vinnitsa stands on the banks of the river Yuzhnyi (Southern) Boog, and is located 260 km south-west of Kiev, Ukraine's capital. It is famous for its many Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant churches and cathedrals, as well as many other places which are worth visiting. |
