About
Bilohorodka is a village west of Kyiv in Kyiv Oblast. Earthworks recall the medieval fortified settlement of Bilhorod, while modern housing ties the village closely to the capital.
Notes
This is the village west of Kyiv, not Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi or Belgorod in Russia. The medieval settlement and present village are related but not interchangeable administrative names.
