Halych

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Halych (Halicz in Polish, Галич in Ukrainian or Russian [pronounced Halych and Galich]) was a town in present-day Galicia. It was founded in 898. It remained its capital until early 14th century, when it was moved to L'viv.

Today Halych is a small rayon center of Ivano-Frankivs'k region, Ukraine.

When its name transliterated from Russian, it is not to be confused with Galich, Russia.
