It was the first time. It's a hard place, even though it's beautiful. Much has been destroyed and cannot be restored. It's worth visiting at least once. We didn't take the tour, but it's a pity.

Brest is one of the main historical cities, it is simply impossible to stay there and not see the fortress
It is an incredible place of memory and power. They were also on the night of June 21-22, 2023. Impressions of the atmosphere and solemnity of the moment at the requiem rally.
The Brest Fortress is a special place for me, all my childhood I and my grandfather, a front-line soldier, often visited here, on all Victory holidays and just like that. During my school years, I participated in the honor guard at the Eternal Flame four times. One of the main symbols of the steadfastness of the defenders of the fortress is the Kholm Gate, from which there was the first, strongest onslaught of the German army. Next to them, next to the place where regimental commissar Fomin was shot, the soul freezes from the greatness of the feat and the strength of the spirit of the defenders of the Motherland.
The Kholm Gate and the Brest Fortress are the most famous historical monument in Belarus!!! I have visited it more than once, and every time it takes my breath away, there is a living history here, even the air conveys the horror of the war through which our ancestors went!
Memory...
Eternal memory to the heroes of the war!
A sacred place for any person. Only the foundation remains of most of the fortress, the rest was destroyed by the war.. Changing of the guard at the Eternal Flame!
Everyone should come here, it is possible with teenage children. The worldview changes very much. There is no reason to start any war. Many films about the Brest Fortress are true!
I had a lump in my throat and I was holding back tears. Such places need to be preserved for future generations so that the understanding of history does not allow mistakes of the past. Peace to all!
The place is very memorable. We must know and remember the history.
A heroic place that leaves a deep mark on the heart.
A holy place that everyone must visit. This is our story and our eternal, never-ending pain....
I don't know what a review of a place like this means. This is the place of the feat of Soviet soldiers, who were one of the first to take the blow of the fascist hordes. Keep that in mind when you get there.
It is a breathtaking sight when you are on the territory of the memorial. It impresses with its mass staff and well-being. Let this be our memory for the ages. No one is forgotten and nothing is forgotten
We need to bring our children and grandchildren here. You need to remember. Everyone should visit this place and then no one will ever be able to defeat us
It is impressive, it is advisable to take a tour, or read about these monuments in advance, then you can fully appreciate the courage and fortitude of people
This is a very important place in our history. Everyone needs to go there. I cried when I read the names of entire families of those who died in the first days of the war.
It's worth a visit! I recommend a unique sculpture and to remember for centuries what a disaster it was! And how people selflessly fought for their Homeland
