Bila Tserkva, Ancient urban center in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine

Located 87 kilometers south of Kyiv, Bila Tserkva stretches along the Ros River at an elevation of 148 meters above sea level.

The city started as a fortified settlement named Yuriiev, established by Yaroslav the Wise in 1032 to protect Kyivan Rus from nomadic tribes.

The Oleksandriya Dendrological Park, established in 1793, contains numerous plant species across 201 hectares of landscaped grounds and natural formations.

The city maintains an agricultural university, manufacturing facilities for machinery, tires, furniture, and provides transportation links through railways and an airport.

The name translates to White Church, derived from the remains of a white stone religious building constructed by Yaroslav in 1050.
