Galich, Medieval fortress city in Kostroma Oblast, Russia.
The city stretches along the southern shore of Lake Galichskoye, surrounded by ancient earthen ramparts known as Shemyaka Hills.
First mentioned in 1237 as Grad Mersky, Galich developed into a major salt and fur trading center during the 15th and 16th centuries.
The Saint Paisiy Monastery, established in the early 14th century, features a five-domed cathedral that represents regional religious architecture.
The Galich Mobile Crane Plant manufactures approximately twenty percent of Russia's mobile cranes, providing employment for local residents.
Archaeological discoveries reveal continuous human presence since the Neolithic period, with artifacts forming the Galich treasure hoard collection.
