Park of Heroes of 1812

The Park of Heroes of 1812 and the Governor`s Palace in Vitebsk are located on the high bank of the Western Dvina River, within walking distance of the Old Town. The Park is not just a green oasis in the center of Vitebsk; it preserves the memory of the events of the Patriotic War of 1812. At that time, Vitebsk became the stage for significant historical events as Napoleon`s troops passed through the city.
