Ternopil centres on its three-hundred-hectare urban lake, created in the sixteenth century alongside Jan Amor Tarnowski's defensive castle and framed by the twin towers of the Dominican Cathedral. Just north, Zbarazh preserves a seventeenth-century palazzo in fortezza built to designs by Vincenzo Scamozzi, surrounded by earthen Dutch bastions and casemates.
