My hometown is Chernivtsi city, it is located in the south-west of Ukraine and has a

common border with Romania and Moldova, located on the right bank of the Prut River. The
city is small with a population of approximately 270 thousand people and an area of 153 km.
Chernivtsi is an old city, the first documented mention of 1408. The city is the historical capital
of the Bukovinian Territory, and during its existence more than once passed under the
influence of various states. Because here you can hear on the street not only Ukrainian but
also Romanian, Moldavian, Hebrew and Russian languages. The streets of the city and
architecture reflect a centuries-old history.
Of the architectural monuments, the most famous is the former chamber of the Orthodox
metropolitans of Bukovina and Dalmatia. Now, the buildings of the architectural ensemble
are the building of the Chernivtsi National University named after Yuri Fedkovich. The
residence was built in 1882 according to the design of Joseph Glavka. The project is an
unconventional building in the spirit of eclecticism with a predominance of Byzantine and
Romanesque styles. Since 2011, UNESCO has been included in the World Heritage List.
The Chernivtsi Regional Academic Musically Drama Theater named after O. Kobylyanskaya
also deserves special attention. Which has an architectural twin in the German city of Fuerth.
This is a three-story baroque building. Relief portraits of William Shakespeare, Richard
Wagner, Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Goethe, Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert, Alexander
Pushkin, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart are placed on the front windows. The theater
building is located at the end of Theater Square and in front of the facade is a large statue of
Olga Kobylyanskaya. The theater since 2008 received academic status. The city also has a
Philharmonic named after D. Hnatiuk with a many of ensembles, including the Chernivtsi
Academic Symphony Orchestra.
The spiritual life of the city cannot but arouse interest; here in Sadgora, one of the
directions of Hasidism arose and the famous melody “Hawa Nagiva” also goes back to the
Sadgor Hasidim. The city also has the cathedral “Sobor Svyatogo Duhu” of the Ukrainian
Orthodox Church, the Cathedral of “Svyatogo Nikolaya Chudotvortsa” of the Moscow
Patriarchate, the “Sobor Uspeniya Prisvyatoy Bogoroditsi” of the Greek Catholic Church, the
Catholic “Basilica Vozdvijenia Vsechestnogo Kresta”, in addition to this, there are many
Protestant prayer houses in the city.
Of green spaces in the city there are three parks named after Y. Fedkovich the greenery
park around the residence, the Zhovtnevy Park with open lakes and playgrounds and the
Taras Shevchenko Park on the territory of which there is a botanical garden.
Along the Taras Shevchenko Park in 2017, Japanese cherries were planted around the
perimeter.
In our city, there is also a Bukovyna stadium, an Airport and one of the largest Ukrainian
markets, the Kalinovsky Market.
Among the places that are definitely worth a visit is the pedestrian street named after O.
Kobylyanskaya, according to local beliefs, she was sweep out with roses. Street musicians
play here and the city museum is located. Walking the streets of the city it seems that you
are in Western Europe, somewhere in Austria or Germany. I like our city, it is not big but very
cozy.
