Chyhyryn, Administrative center in Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine.

The city stands on the Tiasmyn River near its confluence with the Dnieper, featuring fortifications and historical structures at Castle Hill.

From 1648 to 1669, Chyhyryn functioned as the capital of the Cossack Hetmanate and residence of Bohdan Khmelnytsky during the formation of Ukrainian statehood.

The regional archeological museum and Hetman Khmelnytsky museum maintain collections of artifacts that document the development of Ukrainian governance and society.

The city contains multiple manufacturing facilities specializing in leather goods, furniture production, and food processing, supporting the local economy.

The Motronynskyi Trinity Monastery, established in 1627, transformed from a monks' residence to a nuns' dwelling in 1735 before returning to Orthodox control in 1991.
