==Cityscape== The town's most notable landmark is the late 17th-century [[town hall]], named the Ratuša (Rathaus), that was built during the times of the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]]. The grand tower of the town hall sustained serious damage during the [[Great Northern War]] and the [[Great Patriotic War]]. It was eventually demolished in 1957 and rebuilt in its pre-war form in 2008. Another important landmark of Mogilev is the six-pillared St. Stanisław's Catholic Cathedral, built in the [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] style between 1738 and 1752 and distinguished by its frescoes. It became the episcopal see of the [[Archdiocese of Mohilev]] (created in 1772, archdiocese after 1782), once (until 1991) the largest Catholic diocese of the world. Now it's the co-cathedral of the [[Archdiocese of Minsk-Mohilev]]. The convent of St. Nicholas preserves its magnificent cathedral of 1668, as well as the original [[iconostasis]], bell tower, walls, and gates. It is currently under consideration to become a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage]] site.<ref>{{cite web|author=UNESCO World Heritage Centre |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1896/ |title=St. Nicholas Monastery Complex in the city of Mahilyou – UNESCO World Heritage Centre |publisher=Whc.unesco.org |date=2004-01-30 |access-date=2014-08-09}}</ref> Minor landmarks include the archiepiscopal palace and memorial arch, both dating from the 1780s, and the enormous theater in a blend of the [[Neo-Renaissance]] and [[Russian Revival]] styles. At Polykovichi, an urban part of Mogilev, there is a 350 metre tall guyed TV mast, one of the tallest structures in Belarus. <gallery class="center" perrow="5" widths="200" heights="200"> File:Sviato-Nikolskij monastyr v Mogileve.jpg|{{center|The Convent of St. Nicholas}} File:Собор трёх святителей (Могилёв).jpg|{{center|Church of the Three Holy Hierarchs}} </gallery>
