On the highest hill in the city there is an old Uniate Basilica of the Birth of the Virgin Mary, built in the 18th–19th centuries, which also serves as a Marian sanctuary.
Next to the cathedral there is a tall bell tower from the 1870s, which houses the Mausoleum of the Victims of Nazi and Stalin’s Terror. The cathedral complex preserved other monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries: Uściługska Gate, Uniate Bishops Palace, and the Basilian monastery. On the north-western slope there is a mound, called “Wysoka Górka” (Tall Hill), with some relics of a medieval town, including the palace of Prince Danylo Romanovych from the first half of the 13th century.
