Czernowitz, the capital of the Bukowina, is situated on a rising ground on the right bank of the Pruth, which is here crossed by two bridges. Including the extensive suburbs the town contains 45,000 inhab., of whom 12-14,000 are Jews. It is the seat of the governor of the Bukowina, of all Oriental Greek archbishop and consistory, of the provincial courts, and of a university (see below).

The most conspicuous building in the town, which is entirely of modern origin, is the Archiepiscopal Palace, all imposing brick edifice in the Byzantine style, erected by Hlawka in 1864-75 and situated on all eminence at the end of the Bischofsgasse. The magnificently-decorated Reception Hall is worthy of a visit (apply to the castellan); the tower commands a fine view of the town and environs.

The largest church in Czernowitz is the Oriental Greek Cathedral in the Franz-Joseph-Platz, erected in 1864 in imitation of the church of St. Isaac at St. Petersburg. The elegant Armenian Church, in a mixed Gothic and Renaissance stile, was consecrated in 1875. The Roman Catholic Parish Church, the Greek Catholic Church, the Protestant Church, and the new Oriental Greek Parasceva Church are uninteresting. The Jewish Temple, a handsome edifice in the Moorish style, was completed in 1877 from the plans of Zachariewicz; the interior is adorned with rich but chaste elegance.

The University, founded in 1875, is attended by about 250 students. The lectures are delivered partly in the Padagogium in the Bischofsgasse, and partly in the clergy-house adjoining the palace; the latter also contains the natural history and other academical collections.

The Austria Monument in the Austria-Platz was executed by Pekary and erected in 1875 to commemorate the centenary of Austria's possession of the country; it consists of a colossal marble figure of Austria on a pedestal of green Carpathian sandstone, adorned with bronze reliefs and inscriptions.-The new Theatre, in the Schulgasse, is tastefully fitted up (shut in summer).

At the S. end of the town lies the Volksgarten (with a railwaystation), a favourite resort with shady walks, containing the Schützenhaus (Restaurant), the Public Baths, and the Botanical Garden (to the S.W.). Pleasant walks may be taken to the Banaid Grove on the Bischofsberg, which affords a good view of the town, and to the (2l/4 M.) wood of Horecza, near the interesting old church of which a fine survey of the valley of the Pruth is enjoyed.
