Abstract

The paper is devoted to the discussion of controversial issues in the study of the historical topography of Berestye (Brest). This city was one of the largest in western Rus' of the 11th-13th centuries. The problems of shape, sizes and area of the castle and courtyard buildings are still under discussion, despite of the large area of archaeological excavation. Some questions of the castle location are reviewed on the ground of such sources as archaeological and map materials.
