| Sorry for saying that, but the castle in Halych is
completely disappointing. I've been there in June. The ruins look much
less picturesque than on the photo. Just a few falling down walls, plus
one brick wall built very recently. There are two interesting things in
the town: the first one is a view from the ruins towards a medieval (but
much renovated) Orthodox church, which stands a few km from Halych, and
the second one - name of the town itself. Not earlier than I came there I
noticed, that Galicia - the region name widely used in Polish - derives
itself from Halytch (through Latin and German orthography). |
