GOMEL town

Post by aukepalmhof » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:02 pm

Gomel is one of the most ancient cities of Belarus, which arose at the end of the 1st millennium A. D. The official year of its foundation is 1142 when the city was mentioned in the Hypatian Codex.
The present Gomel is the second largest regional centre in the republic. It is a city with developed industry, science, culture, an important transport hub and socio-political centre for interregional relations between Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Over one hundred enterprises of machine building, light, food, chemical and of other industries are operating in the city.
The man in the boat is a statue which is placed in the Lunacharsky Park in Gomel, a monument to the first man to set foot on the land of Gomel. At his feet sits a lynx - a symbol of the city.
