They were originally the former residence of the Bukovynian metropolitans. It's Romanesque and Byzantine architecture is embellished with motifs of Ukrainian folk art, for example, the tile roof patterns duplicate the geometric designs of Ukrainian weavings.
Day 2 Kamyanets-Podilskyi, one of the oldest cities in Ukraine, is considered a phenomenon of great cultural importance. A rocky island skirted by the tight loop of the Smotrich River flowing in a picturesque canyon, served as a unique pedestal on which over more than a thousand years both well-known and anonymous masters created a miracle in stone. Kamyanets-Podilskyi is striking for the harmonious blend of landscape and architecture.
The attention of researchers is drawn to the town of Khotyn. Archaeologists found the remains of a culture that dates back to the 6th -7th and the 8th -10th centuries.

Having undergone a great many reconstructions and restorations the fortification exists till now.
