A series of color images and brief essays in Ukrainian describing the history of the city of Fastiv southwest of Kyiv in central Ukraine.

Also given here is a detailed list of cultural features and civic services of the city keyed to grid locations on the detailed street map of the city on the front side of this brochure, by Kartografiia of Kyiv, plus a small map of tourist sites in the area around Fastiv.
