Above: Ternopil Castle, 1954 (located at former Suvorova Street, 10)
Built in 1540. Since the time of its establishment it had been demolished and rebuilt many times. In the beginning of the 19 th century castle was reconstructure into a palace and because of that all its fortifications were removed then. In 1954 fundamental renovation was made. The existing building is the result of complex reconstruction of 19 th century, and includes ancient nucleous of defensive castle of 16 th century.
