In the 1240s, Danylo Halytskyi moved the capital to Kholm, but Halych remained an influential political and spiritual center for a long time. The Galicia-Volyn Chronicle and one of the oldest monuments of Old Ukrainian writing - the Halych Gospel - were created here. In 1303, the Halych Metropolis was founded, the higher clergy were called by the Greek word "klyros", which is where the current name came from. And Halych himself, after a series of destructive Tatar raids, moved to the citadel near the trading port on the banks of the Dniester, where it is still located today.

On the territory of the village, the ramparts of the fortress, the princely well, the chambers of the metropolitans, the Church of the Assumption (XVI century) and the foundations of ancient Rus churches have been preserved. According to legend, the founder of the city is buried under the Halychyna grave in the Kachkiv tract. All objects are part of the National Reserve "Ancient Halych". A historical museum and a museum of folk architecture have been opened on the hillfort.

В 1240-х роках Данило Галицький переніс столицю до Холму, однак Галич ще довго залишався впливовим політичним і духовним центром.

Тут створений Галицько-Волинський літопис і одна з найдавніших пам'яток староукраїнської писемності - Галицьке Євангеліє. В 1303 році була заснована Галицька митрополія, вище духовенство іменувалося грецьким словом "клирос", звідки пішла нинішня назва. А сам Галич, після серії руйнівних татарських набігів, перемістився до цитаделі біля торгової пристані на березі Дністра, де розташований і зараз.

На території села збереглися вали фортеці, княжий колодязь, палати митрополитів, Успенська церква (XVI століття) та фундаменти давньоруських храмів. Під курганом Галичина могила в урочищі Качків, за переказами, похований засновник міста. Всі об'єкти входять до складу Національного заповідника "Давній Галич". На городищі відкрито історичний музей і музей народної архітектури.

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Temple , Architecture

The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Krylos was built in 1586 from the materials of the destroyed Assumption Cathedral - the main shrine of Ancient Halych (the foundation of the cathedral was discovered next to the church, restoration is planned).

Ancient Rus reliefs and graffiti were found on some of the stone blocks that make up the church. In the 17th century, the temple complex was surrounded by defensive stone walls with four corner towers (fragments have been restored).

The church, badly damaged during the Turkish invasion, was restored at the beginning of the 18th century by Bishop Yosyp Shumlyanskyi. Great artistic value is represented by the western portal with a pediment, decorated with a stone-carved composition "The Assumption of the Virgin".

The Basilian monastery, which was abolished in 1783, operated near the cathedral.

Today, the Church of the Assumption in Krylos belongs to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. It is part of the National Reserve "Ancient Halych".

The Museum of the History of Ancient Halych is located in Krylos in the former Metropolitan Chambers - an architectural monument of the 18th century.

After the destruction of ancient Halych by the Tatars in the 13th century and the transfer of the capital of Halych to Kholm, then to Lviv, the former princely child remained the residence of the Galician metropolitans. In particular, it was the summer residence of Metropolitan Andriy Sheptytskyi, with whose assistance in 1937 archaeologist Yaroslav Pasternak founded the first museum of ancient Halych.

Initially, the exhibition of finds from the excavations in the village of Krylos was housed in the chapel of Saint Basil. In the 1990s, the exposition was moved to the renovated premises of the Metropolitan Chambers. Tools of the copper, bronze and iron ages, ancient weapons, in particular the ancient Rus princely sword of the 12th century, are presented here.

During excavations in 1991-1993, an ancient Slavic symbolic burial (cenotaph) of a noble warrior was found in the mound. A dagger, arrowheads, three axes, gilding from a shield and other items dating back to the 10th century were discovered in the remains of the burnt boat.
