This shows Minsk's City Hall.  It is the administrative building in the central part of Minsk, built in 1600.  There is a watch on the Town Hall tower that was of great value in that time.

This is a view of Victory Square in Minsk.  The monument is the Obelisk to Warriors of the Soviet Army and Partisans deceased in the battles for liberation of Belarus from Nazi occupants.  It was established on June 4, 1954.

The back of the card included the following description:  Once the largest urban district of the capital, the Trinity Suburb is now a tiny island of the past, scrupulously restored over the past twenty years by assiduous historians, architects, and renovators.  With its olderly houses and tidy roofs the Trinity Suburb looks a lot like a stage set, but this set dressing has managed the impossible - to maintain some charming old-world aura.  A narrow crook-backed bridge connects the Trinity Suburb and the Isle of Tears, a solemn piece of land with a memorial commemorating the sons of Motherland who perished in foreign lands.

From the back of the card:  This shows the Princes Svyatopolk Mirskies Family Vault.  The vault was erected in 1904 by the last titled owners of the castle, dukes Svyatopolk-Mirskies, upon the Modernist design of Academician Robert Marfeld, an architect from Petersburg.  The church stands out of the landscape and is easily the focus of attention owing to its extravagant shape and asymmetric design.  The chamber serves as a peculiar artistic and logical transit from the emphatically monumental architecture of the castle to the intimacy of the landscape park approaching the medieval walls.

This is a card showing an illustration; however, I'm not sure where in Belarus it's from.  It's a nice painting though.

The card states that this is the South-western tower but it doesn't say where or tower for what unfortunately.  On the very top of the loop-hole there are machines for throwing stones and pouring boiling water.  The tower is preserved authentic since the times when the castle was built in the early 16th century.  The sender is from Minsk so maybe this tower is from near there.

This is a beautiful view of Minsk, Belarus.  I love the Fall colors.  Given World War II, most of their buildings destroyed and thus, these are all very new buildings.
