About

Polatsk is a historic city on the Western Dvina in northern Belarus. Saint Sophia Cathedral recalls its importance as an early political and religious centre.

Notes

Polatsk follows Belarusian; Polotsk follows Russian. Neither is a recent renaming, and this city is distinct from Navapolatsk. Formal table-derived aliases are labelled separately from attested prose spellings. Coverage of romanization systems and historical aliases is not exhaustive.
