Downtown Disney - one of the oldest cities in the Vitebsk region, known from the XI century. Disna built at the confluence of the river of the same name in the Western Dvina River.

Disna originally had a different name - Kopec-town (the name is derived from the word dig). As the name implies, it is already in the XI century the town was surrounded by an earthen rampart. The rapid construction of the city began in the XVI century, when, after the capture of Polotsk Ivan the Terrible in 1563 the Polish King Stefan Batory decided to build a military fortress.

Now Disna considered the smallest town in Belarus, however, at the entrance to the city, once it becomes apparent that he has seen better times. Disney's many majestic ruins - monuments of the glorious past.

Now there is a restoration of the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, which once belonged to Franciscan monks who built a monastery here in 1773. The city has preserved the ruins of the hospital, which was built at the turn of XIX-XX centuries. The magnitude of the hospital can be judged from what was Downtown Disney in times of Tsarist Russia.

Across the river Disna a bridge, which is over 100 years old. His so-called - Centennial Bridge. Its uniqueness is that it is a wooden cover. After World War II, the bridge had to be rebuilt, which was used captured German flight. Get into Disna can not only bridge the Hundred Years', but also on the existing river ferry - where else can you find such exotic ?!

The Resurrection Church kept the miraculous shrines - Disna icon of Our Lady Hodegetria. The icon was attained miraculously during the terrible fire of the city. People walked with the icon of the city, and the fire stopped. For Odigitrii Governor General Ants built a beautiful Disney Resurrection Church.
