Monastyryshche (Template:Lang-uk [monɐstɪˈrɪʃtʃe]) is a city in Uman Raion of Cherkasy Oblast (province) of Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Monastyryshche urban hromada, one of the amalgamated hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 8,494 (2020 est.).[2]
Until 18 July 2020, Monastyryshche served as an administrative center of Monastyryshche Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Cherkasy Oblast to four. The area of Monastyryshche Raion was merged into Uman Raion.[3][4]
