Kiliia

Kiliia is a small port city located on the picturesque bank of the Danube River. The exact date of the city’s founding is not known for certain, but historical evidence suggests that the settlement existed before the 12th century. There is also a legend that Alexander the Great founded the city in the 4th century. This city witnessed many important historical events: the struggle between the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, Turkish attacks, the Russo-Turkish wars, rule by Romania, and later Ukraine. Its distinctive feature, however, is that the authorities managed to preserve unique architectural landmarks: the semi-underground St Nicholas Church, the remains of Kiliia Fortress, the Church of St Archangel, and others.
