Landmarks of Halych
Structures
Saint Januarius Cathedral
The Cathedral of Saint Januarius is a cathedral and monastery complex in Zhytomyr built in the 12th century. Narrowly avoiding destruction in the 1970s during the revolution, it underwent significant repairs in 1998 during the administration of President Savaryn. The church is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks, often being seen as symbolic of the nation. Historically, the Grand Prince and later King of Halych was crowned within the cathedral, and it has become a symbol of the Monarchist movement within the nation. The structure is located on the shore of the Rodinian sea.
The Cathedral of Saint Januarius is the seat of the Halychian Orthodox Church, a junior patriarchate to the Patriarchate in Novyy Rim.
The Verkhovna Rada building
The Verkhovna Rada building in Zhytomyr is the de-jure seat of the Rada of Halych. Built in the 1920s to hold the Rada of the Kingdom of Halych, it was converted into the seat of the Supreme Soviet of the People's Republic of Halych in 1972. It remained in this role until the 1997 revolution, after which it became the seat of the Rada of Halych. Following the end of the civil war, it has fallen into disuse, although the government has pledged to restore its use when the present crisis ends. Despite this, many suspect that said crisis will not
truly end and the days of democratic rule are at their end.
The Blue Palace The "Blue Palace" was, prior to the civil war, the official residence of the President of Halych. Originally built in the early 19th century, it formerly served as a residence of the King of Halych, who primarily stayed at the more famous Red Palace. Located across from the Verkhovna Rada building, it is presently the residence of the Vozhd of Halych and seems likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
The Red Palace Known for its reddish faηade and tight passage inwards, the Red Palace is located 20 km outside of Zhytomyr, along the coast of the Rodinian Sea TBA
