I always visit the city with gusto. Read about it a dozen thick, clever books, but have to admit - on Kamenetz I know very little. This character of this city: for two or three, even very rich information about him tour would not understand. No matter how many come, you will always find some kind of secret. Here's an example: historians say that more than a thousand years ago in what is now the castle there Slavonic settlement.
