About
Voronezh is a historically significant site with a rich archaeological and cultural heritage. It originated as a Slavic settlement complex between the 8th and 11th centuries, featuring numerous towns and forts along the Voronezh River. By the 12th and 13th centuries, many of these early towns were abandoned, but new settlements emerged. The current city was established in 1585 as a strategic fortification. Voronezh played a vital role in Russian naval history with the construction of the Azov Flotilla in the late 17th century. Voronezh was also a critical battlefield during World War II, with significant destruction and subsequent reconstruction in the 20th century. The site is a testament to the region's evolving urban and military landscape over centuries.
