Halych (Ukrainian: Галич, Halych; Romanian: Halici; Polish: Halicz; Russian: Галич, Galich, German: Halytsch) is a historic city on the Dniester River in western Ukraine. The city gave its name to the historic province of Galicia (Halychyna), Principality of Halych and the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia, of which it was the capital until the early 14th century, when the seat of the local rulers was moved to Lviv.
Today Halych is a small town located only on one spot of the territory of former Halycian capital although it preserved its former name. It is also the administrative center of Halych Raion (district) of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast (region). It lies 26 km (16 mi) north of the oblast capital, Ivano-Frankivsk. Population: 6,247 (2016 est.).
The city's name, though spelled identically in modern East Slavic languages (Галич), is pronounced Halych in Ukrainian and Galich in Russian. The Russian transliteration should not be confused with the Russian town of Galich. In Polish the name is rendered Halicz; in the Yiddish language Helitsh or Heylitsh (העליטש); in Latin, Galic; in Hungarian, Halics; in Romanian, Halici.
