Historical and Archaeological Museum-Reserve "Verkhniy Saltiv" named after Vasyl Babenko

Museum / gallery , Archaeological site

Historical and archaeological museum-reserve "Verkhniy Saltyv" named after Vasyl Babenko is located on the high right bank of the Pechenehy reservoir (Siverskyi Donets river).

In 1900, local teacher Vasyl Babenko discovered a large iron age catacomb burial here. Later, the ancient city of Sarada (VIII-X centuries), founded by Alans (immigrants from the Caucasus), which was part of the Khazar Khaganate, was excavated. The hillfort with an area of 120 hectares was surrounded by three lines of fortifications. The inner shaft is fortified with a stone wall 3 meters thick. According to the place of discovery, this archaeological culture was called Saltivska.

In 1989, the historical and archaeological museum-reserve "Verkhniy Saltiv" was created on the basis of the Verkhniy Saltiv complex. Part of the archaeological finds made here is presented in the museum exposition.
