The '''Trinity Hill''' is the oldest surviving district of [[Minsk]], although it's not part of the downtown, rather a [[suburb]], hence another name, '''Trinity Suburb''' (''Trajeckaje pradmiescie''). The historic neighbourhood sprawls along the left bank of the [[Svislach (Berezina)|Svislach River]] in the southeastern part of the modern city. The [[Belarusian rouble|Belarusian 5-ruble bill]] featured an image of Trayetskaye Pradmestsye. |
