It offers an exceptional heritage in terms of abundance as well as diversity. Over five hundred churches and monuments afford the visitor a splendid setting brimming with history and tales. But it has shown high vitality too. It has formed numerous twinning ties not only in Europe with Gdańsk (Poland), Iaroslavl (Russian Federation), Pistoia and Sestu (Italy), Tbilisi (Georgia), Timisoara (Romania), and most recently with Montpellier (France), but also across the globe with Bukavu (Democratic Republic of Congo), Chendgu (China), Khan Yunis (Palestine), Miami (United States), Palermo (Colombia) and Santiago de Cuba (Cuba).
