Zbarazh, Medieval castle and monastery city in Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine

Located on the Hnizna River, Zbarazh extends across 7 square kilometers with residential areas surrounding a central fortress complex and religious structures.

The city emerged as a significant fortified settlement in 1211 within the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia before becoming a strategic point between Polish and Ukrainian territories.

The city features architectural monuments including a fortress built between 1626 and 1631, the Bernardine monastery from 1627, and two 18th-century churches.

The local economy operates through multiple industries including a sugar refinery, winery, brick factory, foundry, and brewery serving the regional agricultural sector.

The fortress withstood numerous sieges throughout history, including attacks by Crimean Tatars in 1474 and 1589, and a major siege during the 1649 Cossack-Polish War.
