Minsk District, Administrative division in central Belarus
The Minsk District spans 1,943 square kilometers around the capital city Minsk, containing 18 rural councils and 37 municipalities across the region.
The district evolved through various administrative changes, reflecting the political transformations from the Russian Empire through Soviet times to independent Belarus.
The Belarusian State Museum of Folk Architecture and Life in Strochitsy presents traditional buildings and objects from different periods of regional history.
The district maintains 34 basic municipalities and includes Zaslawye town with 14,400 residents and Machulishchy settlement with 8,000 inhabitants.
While the city of Minsk serves as the administrative center of the district, it remains administratively separate from both the district and region.
