Hrodna, Historical city on Neman River in Belarus
The regional capital Hrodna extends across both banks of the Neman River with stone bridges connecting its residential and commercial districts at 137 meters elevation.
The city first emerged in 1128 as a fortress settlement and later served as the capital during King Stephen Báthory's reign in the 1580s.
The Cathedral of Saint Francis Xavier, constructed between 1678 and 1705, stands as a primary religious center in western Belarus.
Hrodna operates under a visa-free regime since 2016, allowing international visitors to stay in the city for up to ten days without additional documentation.
The city maintains two medieval castles: the Old Castle from 1580 and an 18th-century New Castle, both positioned along the Neman River banks.
