The city of Monastyryska on the Koropets River is located 20 kilometers west of Buchach, on the road to Ivano-Frankivsk. Administratively, it is part of the Chortkiv district of the Ternopil region.

The name of the city is associated with an Orthodox monastery that supposedly existed here during the time of the Principality of Galicia–Volhynia. According to legend, the local boyar Sobko turned his castle into a monastery because of his unhappy love for the captured Polovtsian princess Atia.

The first written mentions of Monastyryska are found in documents from 1433 and 1437, when the city belonged to the knight Sigismund. The next owners were the Buczacki magnates. In 1454, Monastyryska is mentioned as a city with Magdeburg law. Around 1600, Wiktorin Seninski built a stone castle in the city, which was later rebuilt into a tobacco factory, which has survived to this day.

The majestic Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1751, when the city was owned by the Lviv castellan Józef Potocki. Also preserved are the wooden Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1873), the stone Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (1892), five chapels, a former synagogue and other fragments of old buildings.

In the second half of the 1940s, Monastyryska became the main place of resettlement of Lemkos deported from Poland, which is why it received the informal status of the "Lemko capital". An open-air museum of Lemko culture has been created near the city, and the "Lemkivska Vatra" (Lemko Fire) festival is held annually in the summer.

Місто Монастириська на річці Коропець розташоване за 20 кілометрів на захід від Бучача, по дорозі на Івано-Франківськ. Адміністративно входить до складу Чортківського району Тернопільської області.

Назву міста пов'язують з православним монастирем, який нібито існував тут за часів Галицько-Волинського князівства. За легендою, на монастир перетворив свій замок місцевий боярин Собко через нещасливе кохання до полоненої половецької князівни Аті.

Перші писемні згадки про Монастириську зустрічаються в документах 1433 та 1437 року, коли місто належало лицарю Сигізмунду. Наступними власниками були магнати Бучацькі. У 1454 році Монастириська згадується як місто з Магдебурзьким правом. Близько 1600 року Вікторін Сенінський спорудив у місті мурований замок, який пізніше був перебудований на тютюнову фабрику, що збереглася донині.

Величний костел Внебовзяття Пресвятої Діви Марії збудований 1751 року, коли містом володів львівський каштелян Юзеф Потоцький. Також збереглася дерев'яна церква Введення в храм Пресвятої Богородиці (1873 рік), мурована церква Воздвиження Чесного Хреста (1892 рік), п'ять капличок, колишня синагога та інші фрагменти старої забудови.

У другій половині 1940-х років Монастириська стала основним місцем переселення депортованих з Польщі лемків, через що отримала неформальний статус "лемківської столиці". Поблизу міста створено музей лемківської культури просто неба, щорічно влітку проводиться фестиваль "Лемківська ватра".
