Haradok

Haradok straddles the Haradzhanka River in northern Belarus’s Vitsebsk Region, and its river-valley position has shaped it as a compact district centre amid the forests and lakes of the country’s north. First recorded in 1127, the town developed in the historic lands of Polotsk and later belonged to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth before becoming part of the Russian Empire in the late 18th century. Its modest centre gives a sense of everyday provincial Belarus beyond the larger city of Vitsebsk. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Haradok and the Vitsebsk Region.
