Pinsk

Pinsk occupies a low-lying riverside position on the Pina River in Belarusian Polesia, in Brest Region. The Pina flows toward the Pripyat, placing the city within the broad wetland-and-waterway country that defines Polesia. Pinsk developed as a trading centre on these routes and received Magdeburg rights in 1581. Its historic core includes the former Jesuit Collegium, now home to the Museum of Belarusian Polesia, and the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Riverfront streets reflect a regional centre shaped above all by its waterways. Place Pinsk in the wider Polesia region by browsing webcams nearby.
