Turka, Administrative center in Sambir Raion, Ukraine
Turka stands at the meeting point of the Stryi and Yablunka rivers, positioned 557 meters above sea level in western Ukraine's Carpathian Mountains region.
King Władysław II Jagiełło granted Turka to Vancza Valachus in 1431, and the settlement later received Magdeburg rights for self-governance in 1730.
The city maintains two principal religious structures, the Church of St Nicholas from 1739 and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church from 1750.
The administrative division provides essential municipal services and connects to major urban centers through a network of regional transportation routes.
The name Turka possibly derives from ancient gate towers at the settlement entrance or from the Ukrainian word referring to the aurochs species.
