Mukachevo

Mukachevo is perhaps the most beautiful town in Transcarpathia.

Most of all, I was impressed by the delicious local cuisine and the spirit and architectural aura of Austria-Hungary.

The city is beautiful but quiet, and looks quite provincial at the evening.

Mukachevо is located in the valley of the Latorica river in southwestern Ukraine. Serving as the administrative center of the Mukachivskyi district in the Zakarpattia Oblast (province), the city itself is also designated as a separate raion within the oblast.
Mukacheve has a Ukrainian majority (77.1%), Russians (9.0%), Hungarians (8.5%), Germans (1.9%), Jews (number unknown), and Roma (1.4%).

Architectural landmarks of Mukachevo:

-The Wooden church built in the Ukrainian architectural style, 18th century

-Saint Nicholas Monastery

-Palanok Castle, 14th century. The castle of Munkács played an important role during the anti-Habsburg revolts in this territory and present-day Slovakia (1604–1711), especially at the beginning of the anti-Habsburg Revolt of Imre Thököly (1685–1688), as well as at the beginning of the revolt of Ferenc II.
Rákóczi (early 18th century). This important fortress became a prison from the end of the 18th century and was used until 1897. The Greek national hero Alexander Ypsilanti was imprisoned in Munkács castle from 1821 to 1823.
