Turov, Medieval administrative center in Gomel Region, Belarus
The town of Turaw sits at the intersection of the Yazda and Strumen rivers in southeastern Belarus, functioning as a regional administrative hub.
Turaw emerged as a capital of its own principality during the Middle Ages, first documented in 980 as part of the vast Kievan Rus network.
The Orthodox Church of All Saints, constructed in 1810, contains a notable icon of St Nicholas that represents centuries of religious traditions.
Visitors reach Turaw through road networks connecting to major cities in the Gomel Region, with local accommodations available for overnight stays.
The town flag, officially registered in 2002, displays three horizontal bands in blue, white, and red, reflecting local administrative identity.
