Khortytskyi raion of Zaporizhzhya, Zaporizhzhya — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Khortytskyi raion of Zaporizhzhya?

Церква Святого Миколая is the one landmark recorded inside Khortytskyi raion. Sightseeing therefore runs outward, to Zaporizhzhya's own list of museums and monuments, among them the Zaporozhian Cossacks History Museum and the Zaporizhzhia Regional Art Museum, neither of which stands within this raion. The raion's draw is therefore local, a church on residential ground rather than a stop on a city tour.

What is the history of Khortytskyi raion of Zaporizhzhya?

Khortytskyi raion is a young administrative line. Zaporizhzhya divided its ground into seven urban raions, and Khortytskyi raion was set out in 1995, long after the city itself had dropped the name Oleksandrivsk in 1921. Older layers belong to the wider city, whose founding is put at 952.

Khortytskyi raion therefore reads as a municipal unit first, a name on the city's map before it was a name in its own right.

Where is Khortytskyi raion of Zaporizhzhya?

Khortytskyi raion covers a little under nineteen square kilometres, which makes it a small piece of Zaporizhzhya, a city whose built ground runs many times that. Dniprovskyi raion takes the ground to the north, and Shevchenkivskyi raion sits far to the east across the city. Zaporizhzhya itself follows the Dnieper, and this raion keeps to the western side. Verkhnya Khortytsia lies beyond it, north-west.
