Dzisna, Turau, and Vasilievichy — the smallest towns in Belarus. Who else is in the top?

Dzisna has a population of 1339 people. But it's still a town!

In Belarus, there are no strict requirements for how many people must live in a settlement for it to receive city status. There are tiny towns, and there are villages with 20 thousand people. Status changes happen rarely and do not occur automatically even if the population dies out.

"Nasha Niva" compiled a list of the smallest Belarusian towns — 12 towns were identified, each with a population of less than 7000 people.

The fewest people live in Dzisna, in the Myory District of Vitebsk Region — only 1339 people as of early 2026.

At the beginning of the last century, over 9000 people lived here, but the situation has changed significantly to this day.

The title of the smallest town in Belarus for Dzisna is a tourist brand.

In second place is Kosava (1770 people) in the Ivatsevichy District. The town is primarily known for the Puslowski Palace and the Kościuszko Museum, which are located nearby.

In third place is Turau (2726 inhabitants) in the Zhytkavichy District — also a popular tourist destination.

Slightly more people live in Vasilievichy, an oil center in Belarus, located in the Rechytsa District — 3089 people.

Further, with a considerable gap, in ascending order, are Vysokaye (4940) in the Kamenets District and Davyd-Haradok (5634) in the Stolin District.

And after that, all district centers — Svislach (5709), Verkhnyadzvinsk (6679), Iwye (6784) and Myadzyel (6822), Syanno (6874) and Kruhlaye (6911).

    Найперш не галасі! , канкрэтна па адсодках насельніцтва, якое занятае не ў сельскай гаспадарцы. Напрыклад Альшаны, што па суседстве з Давыд-Гарадком, па насельніцтву большыя напэўна ў разы тры, але яны не горад (яны аграгорад 😁)

    🤽 Здаўна з прыкрасьцю бачу, як гэты сайтык імкнецца забруджваць мову то ўкраінскімі, то яшчэ ліхвед якімі цалкам чужнымі нам словамі. Дык вось «у топе» ў нас мусіць пазначаць толькі таго ці тое, што патанае. Значыць, згодна зь першым здымкам, Дзісна быццам у топе. А астатнія гарадкі, калі ня пэцкаць мову розным слоўным сьмецьцем, у ніякай топе-попе быццам не знаходзяцца!
