In 1657, Ostap Hohol, the future hetman of Right Bank Ukraine, who is considered the ancestor of the writer Mykola Hohol, became the Mohyliv colonel.

After the War of Liberation, Mohyliv returned to the Potoski family, who remained the owners until 1811, when the city was bought into the treasury by the Russian government. The formation of the city as a large trade center is connected with the development of shipping on the Dniester and the construction of the railway.

The Saint Nicholas Cathedral (1754), the Greek Saint George's Church with a bell tower (1808-1819) in the style of classicism and other churches have been preserved. A heroic episode of the Second World War is connected with pillbox No. 112, the garrison of which held back the offensive of the German-Romanian troops for three weeks. At the entrance to the local recreation park, you can see a monument to the musician John Lennon.

The city has a well-developed tourist infrastructure - there are museums, as well as hotels and restaurants of various levels.

Могилів-Подільський заснований в 1595 році як замок молдавського господаря Ієремії Могили, який у 1606 році віддав його в якості приданого за свою дочку Марію брацлавському воєводі Стефану Потоцькому. На знак подяки Потоцький назвав місто на честь тестя Могилевом і отримав для нього Магдебурзьке право.

В 1657 році могилівським полковником став Остап Гоголь, майбутній гетьман Правобережної України, який вважається предком письменника Миколи Гоголя.

Після Визвольної війни Могилів повернувся у власність роду Потоцьких, які залишалися тут господарями до 1811 року, коли місто було викуплено в казну російським урядом. Становлення міста як великого торгового центру пов'язане з розвитком судноплавства на Дністрі та будівництвом залізниці.

Збереглися Миколаївський собор (1754 рік), грецька Георгіївська церква з дзвіницею (1808-1819 роки) в стилі класицизму та інші храми. Героїчний епізод Другої світової війни пов'язаний з дотом №112, гарнізон якого три тижні стримував наступ німецько-румунських військ. На вході в місцевий парк відпочинку можна побачити пам'ятник музиканту Джону Леннону.

У місті непогано розвинена туристична інфраструктура - є музеї, а також готелі та ресторани різного рівня.
