THE KALUSH FORTRESS OF THE 16-17th CENTURIES
The article examines the architectural features of the fortress city of Kalush, one of the oldest cities in Western Ukraine, located in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. With the granting of Magdeburg rights in the sixteenth century, Kalush became an important commercial and cultural center. It had a great defense potential - a fortified fortress city of the sixteenth century, laid out as an ideal city with a regular layout and a Starosta castle. However, the architectural and urban planning heritage of this period is hardly visible in modern buildings.
