At the entrance we were met by a bridge, but since the bus stopped him, then met us with the area and Trinity Church.
Greek Catholic monastery of the Holy Trinity in Kamenetz-Podolsk was founded in 1722 by monks Basilian. For the first time the Orthodox Trinity Church is mentioned in 1582. It is possible that at this point there was a more ancient temple of XIII-XIV centuries. During the Turkish rule the church was converted into a mosque, and after the departure of the Turks, she moved to the Greek Catholics and became a cathedral. After joining the Russian Empire skirts all Uniate monasteries were handed over to the Orthodox. In 1836 a monastery building was built two-storey stone outbuilding with a warm church Anthony and Theodosius, and in 1855 was completed the reconstruction of Trinity Church with giving her the Orthodox forms. In Soviet times, the church was completely destroyed. In recent years, Trinity Church was rebuilt on the foundations cleared by the Basilian monks.

Go back to the bridge.
And now Smotrichsky canyon. This canyon is shaped like the Greek letter omega, and this constitutes an island, on which is located the Old City
Photo 01
In some places the width of the canyon reaches 250 meters, and height - up to 40 flat bottom of the canyon, there is a river and Smotrych are whole neighborhoods (even live there, I do not think a lot of fun - at night terribly loud croaking frogs, which are found in the canyon thousands , and certain river from time to time out of the banks).

Through the canyon passes Novoplanovsky bridge. This bridge was built in the second half of the XIX century, and it was after its construction began to be built up that part of the city through which we walked from the train station - a new plan. The bridge across different sources available. Basically, they write that the length of the bridge 136 meters, but I have met and figure 142. But all converge in height - 38 meters. Bridge abutments are 7 pylons.

According to legend, the Lithuanian Prince Algirdas (1296 - 1377) and his nephews, brothers, Yuri and Alexander Koriatovichi, after a victory over the Tartars, once went to hunt deer. And out of the thicket before Olexandr jumped deer with golden horns and silver hoofs. Young hunter chased a wonderful animal, but soon realized he was lost. But suddenly a deer appeared next to him and said in a human voice: "Sit down with me, and I will bring you out of the woods. I'll take you to the place that will become your home and bring glory. This is - an island in the middle of a horseshoe of happiness (Smotrych river makes a loop, bypassing the old town, as a horseshoe - Auth.), Who will be your principality. " And it was founded Stone
