Short description of Vitsebsk

Vitsebsk is the city that Marc Chagall painted for the rest of his life after leaving it, and the wooden house he grew up in on the far bank is kept as a museum with the furniture of a Jewish family of that period. For one week in July the town fills for a Slavic song festival held in an open amphitheatre, which is the largest single gathering anywhere in the country. An assumption cathedral stands white on the hill above the river. The old governor's palace and a twelfth century church both survive nearby.
