Місто Вінниця - невеликий обласний центр на берегах Південного Бугу. Засноване як замок-фортеця в 1362-63 роках литовськими князями Коріатовичами (Корятовичами).
Перший дерев'яний замок був споруджений у XIV столітті на лівому березі, другий - у XVI солітті на острові Кемпа (фестивальному), Новий замок - в XVII столітті на високому правому березі.
Розквіт міста припав на період польського панування XVI-XVII століть, коли були зведені основні архітектурні пам'ятки - комплекс споруд домініканського та єзуїтського монастирів і колегіуму з оборонною стіною.

У роки Другої світової війни неподалік знаходилася ставка Гітлера "Вовче лігво".
Місто нерозривно пов'язане з іменами видатного вченого-хірурга Миколи Пирогова та письменника Михайла Коцюбинського.
День міста Вінниці відзначається в другу суботу-неділю вересня.

Holy Virgin Mary of Angels Church
Temple , Architecture
The Holy Virgin Mary of Angels Church of the Capuchin Order was built in Vinnytsia in an unusual Tuscan Baroque style during the eldership of Lyudoviku Kalynovskyi.
For the construction, Kalynovskyi allocated the funds he received as a result of a lawsuit with Count Potoski, as well as part of his estate. In the 19th century, the monastery was closed by the Russian authorities and turned into a barracks, but the church remained active as a parish church. The temple was already closed by the Soviet authorities at the beginning of 1931. During the Second World War, it was active and was closed again by the Soviet authorities in 1961, after the death of priest Martseliy Vysokinskyi.
Now the church of the Holy Virgin Mary of Angels is again an active church of the Catholic order of the Friars Minor Capuchins. Excursions to the dungeon of the monastery are conducted.
In 2023, a monument to Saint James was erected near the Holy Virgin Mary of Angels Church, symbolizing the starting point of the Camino Podolico - the Podilya way of Saint James.
