Horlivka, Industrial center in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine

The city extends over 422 square kilometers in eastern Ukraine, with three main districts and multiple coal mines scattered throughout the territory.

Founded in 1779 as Gosudarev Posad, the settlement transformed into a major mining center after engineer Pyotr Gorlov established the first coal mine in 1867.

The Municipal Art Museum contains a collection of regional paintings, while the Razumov Museum displays miniature books from different historical periods.

The city connects to neighboring regions through an extensive railway network, with primary stations located in the Kalinin and Mykytivka districts.

The mines of Horlivka reach exceptional depths within the Donets Basin, creating distinctive waste heaps that mark the local landscape.
