Brest Fortress. Visit to Brest
Introduction
Brest Fortress. Visit to Brest (350 km from Minsk). Brest is a city and administrative centre of the Brest region of the Republic of Belarus. The city is located on the right bank of the Western Boog River. Brest is the traditional "western gate" of the country. The first mentioning of it is dated by 1019. In 1390 it was the first city in Belarus that obtained self-government on the basis of the Magdeburg Law. The historical Union, which reconciled and united catholic and orthodox confessions in Belarus, was concluded here in 1596. Again here in 1917 Lenin's government concluded the "Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty" with Germany during WWI. The fortress is the main attraction of the city. The history of this defensive construction started in 1842 when the entire city of Brest was moved 3 kilometres east, and on its place a massive fortress was set up. The fortress made a prolonged defense against Germans in 1941 and was ruined in the result of severe battles. After the war the remains of the fortress were turned into a grandiose memorial to its defenders.
