~KAMIANETS-PODILSKYI~
(Part-2)
And let's continue on from old city part of Kamianets-Podilskyi:
 |
| A different view of Kamianets-Podilskyi castle |
When we passed to the old part of the city...I thought that I was arriving to a dreamland...cause the atmosphere was awesome...architecture was amazing...
 |
| Holy Trinity Church |
|
 |
| The Stephen Báthory Gate |
While we were watching the gate...some tourists came there as we learned from Poland...This city also had (still have) people from Poland and this gate is so important and attractive place for Polish people cause he was the king of Poland and many historians claim that he was one of the greatest of the elected Kings of Poland...
 |
| The City Hall |
 |
| The Armenian Well |
After visiting the city hall and souvenirs bazaar ( I call there as bazaar cause there are so many souvenir shops just next to the city hall...if you go there don't worry about finding some souvenirs for your friends-relatives etc...I have been in many countries and cities but haven't seen so many souvenir shops together (except Odesa) ) we kept on walking...and finally we arrived to St.Peter and Paul's Church...when I learned the history of it from my friend, I was surprised...cause it was a baroque cathedral originally from 1580 and then got a minaret and Ottomans turned it into a mosque from 1672 and when the Poles got the city again in 1699 they putted a guilded Madonna on the top of it...With this way...it looks like a mixture of Christian and Muslim elements...

| St. Peter and Paul's Church | |

 |
| A very nice view taken by my friend |
 |
| We rocked Kamianets-Podilskyi :) |
After this church...it was time for Kamianets-Podilskyi castle...it was a little bit long road...but I enjoyed so much during the way cause we were almost laughing all time...
 |
| Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle |
|
On the way of the castle we saw many souvenir shops too but I suggest you going to that souvenirs bazaar :) if you would like to buy something cause the more you reach to the castle, the more souvenirs become expensive...
 |
| The castle and Turkish Bridge (Ottomans Bridge) |
 |
| Istanbul-840 km :) |

When we entered to the Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle...I just remembered one place...It was Žička kartuzija in Slovenia...cause the entrance and inside of the castle were almost the same with monastery in Slovenia...
 |
| Restoration of the castle |
 |
| I am in danger zone but who scares :) |
After visited inside of the castle we went to the museum of the castle which gives historical background of the region also Ukraine...unfortunately it was forbidden to take photos so I cannot have any chance to show something from there but I would like to thank someone from here cause it was very special for me; while we were looking the equipments of the museum, a lady from the museum followed us and asked "if you would like to attend excursion of museum, we will start in a minute"...All of us thought that it was going to be just 5 minutes or something...but unfortunately it wasn't :) we listened all history of not only Ukraine but also all this geography even includes Russia :) it was unbelievably interesting for me to listen but the thing is it wasn't same pleasure for my friend cause the lady was speaking in Ukrainian and my friend (poor friend :) ) was translating them into English for me simultaneously...it took at least 45 minutes and I learned so many new things about Kamianets-Podilskyi also Ukraine even old Russian history...but my friend...my adorable poor friend wasn't taking even a breath after the tour...I just send my warm THANKS-SPASIBO to her from here also :)
For sure after this great tour we went to eat something cause we were starving so much...it was so nice place which we found in the garden of the castle...they were cooking traditional Ukrainian cousine...and I had a chance to drink one of their traditional drinks which is made from bread "Kvas"...It looks like beer but it is not...I liked it so much even brought some bottles to Turkey for my friends :)

After castle trippin' we followed the same path and we went to a cafe for resting...it was a special cafe...I liked there so much...
 |
| Different decor :) |
And after this nice day...our Kamianets-Podilskyi trippin' finished...thanks for this nice excursion to my valuable friend also her friend's company...
