History [edit]
Fastiv is a historical city that survived through Cossack uprisings and the Great Turkish War with the period of total devastation and later resettlement. Landmarks of those times include Pokrovska Tserkva - a 17th century Orthodox church, also known as Paliy Church (after the Cossack leader Semen Paliy). There is also an early 20th century Catholic church.
