 | | Together with the City Hall, the fire and water towers, they created a unique charateristique [sic] silhouette of every town. |
 | | The streets of old-time towns were normally straight (Polatsk, Ragachou, Asipovichy, etc.). |
 | | However, certain town (Mazyr, Navagrudak, Slonim) were located on hilly terrain or along rivers, so the streets in them were not symmetrically straight. |
