Zhytomyr, Administrative center in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine

The northern Ukrainian city of Zhytomyr extends across 65 square kilometers at an elevation of 221 meters above sea level along the Teteriv River.

The settlement originated in 884 under the leadership of Drevlians prince Zhytomyr, later developing into a significant center during the Kievan Rus period.

The Serhiy Pavlovych Korolyov Museum of Cosmonautics displays contributions to space exploration, honoring the Soviet space program chief designer born in Zhytomyr.

Public transportation includes an extensive network of minivans called Marshrutkas, trolleybuses, and trams connecting different areas of the city for affordable fares.

The region maintains substantial granite quarrying operations, contributing to construction materials through mining activities in the surrounding geological formations.
