Old Town Streets

Wandering the historical residential streets of Zlatopil gives a peaceful sense of its storied past.

Zlatopil, today a district within the city of Novomyrhorod in the Kirovohrad Oblast, holds a significant historical legacy. Before its merger, it was an independent town, known for its spirited Jewish community and as a center of education, famously hosting a classical gymnasium. This school attracted students from across the region and was renowned for its high standards. The town's architecture reflects its past prosperity, with several historic buildings still standing, though many were affected by the turmoil of the 20th century. Visitors can explore the remnants of this once-thriving town, imagining its past glory. It is best reached by car or bus from regional centers like Kropyvnytskyi. The area's cuisine is typical of central Ukraine, featuring hearty dishes like borscht and varenyky. The best time to visit is during the late spring or early autumn for pleasant weather.
