Now a quarter of all the architectural monuments of Ukraine of the pre-Mongol period are concentrated here. The historical core is Val - the remains of the fortifications of Detinets and the Chernigov fortress, where the most ancient temples are located. The most valuable sacral monument is the Anthony Caves (XI century), which are part of the Trinity-Ilyinsky Monastery complex. The emergence of the Assumption Eletsky Monastery dates back to the same time. An abundance of attractions, a quiet provincial atmosphere and a developed tourist infrastructure make Chernihiv attractive for a weekend tour. Day of the city of Chernigov is celebrated on September 21.

Княжий град Чернігів - древнє місто на правому березі Десни. Виникло в VII ст. на місці ранніх слов'янських поселень, ставши згодом центром Чернігівського князівства. За легендою, було засновано князем Чорним. Історики пов'язують назву міста з ім'ям Сіверського князя Черніги. В кінці IX ст., коли київський князь Олег підкорив сіверців, що жили за течією Десни, місто увійшло до складу Київської Русі. У 907 році Чернігів вперше згадується в літописі. У 1239 році місто було зруйноване монголо-татарами. Під час литовського правління на місці княжого дитинця була побудована фортеця. У складі Росії Чернігів став губернським центром.

Зараз тут зосереджена чверть всіх архітектурних пам'яток України домонгольського періоду. Історичним ядром є Вал - залишки оборонних споруд дитинця та Чернігівської фортеці, де знаходяться найдавніші храми. Найцінніша сакральна пам'ятка - Антонієві печери (XI ст.), що входять в комплекс Троїцько-Іллінського монастиря. До тих же часів відноситься виникнення Успенського Єлецького монастиря. Велика кількість пам'яток, тиха провінційна атмосфера та розвиненість туристичної інфраструктури роблять Чернігів привабливим для туру вихідного дня. День міста Чернігова відзначається 21 вересня.

Chernihiv Collegium (Chernihiv Ancient Reserve)

Museum / gallery

The openwork building of the Chernihiv Collegium with a high bell tower is located on the territory of the Chernihiv Dytynets (Val). It was once part of the cathedral Borisoglebsk monastery - the residence of the Chernihiv archbishops. The construction of the monastery refectory was probably started at the end of the 17th century by Archbishop Lazar Baranovich. In its current form, the building was erected in 1700-1702 by Archbishop Ioann Maksymovych with the support and funding of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, as evidenced by the board of the bell tower with the coat of arms of Mazepa, which is now exhibited in exhibition halls. Later, the refectory began to be used as one of the premises of the Chernihiv Collegium - the first higher educational institution of the Left Bank of Ukraine, which operated from 1700 to 1786. Latin and other languages were taught here, as well as poetics, rhetoric, philosophy, mathematics, geography, and so on. The college trained church figures, civil servants, translators, writers, and physicians. Now the Chernihiv Collegium houses a museum that covers the history of the school. The class of the college has been reconstructed, an exposition of icon painting has been exhibited, and the exhibition "Chernihiv and Chernihiv People 100 Years Ago" is open. The administration of the National Architectural and Historical Reserve "Ancient Chernihiv" is also located here.
