A microdistrict (microraions) is a residential complex.


The National Library of Belarus is a building of unusual architecture called “Belarusian Diamond”, measuring 72 metres (236 feet) tall and has 22 floors. The building also features a 500 seat conference hall. The main architectural component has the shape of a rhombicuboctahedron. Such an eye-catching building!
