Fastiv (Ukrainian: Фа́стів, Fastiv) is a city located in the Kiev Oblast (Oblast in central Ukraine. Administratively, it is incorporated as a town of oblast significance.

History

Fastiv is a historical city that survived through Cossack uprisings and the Great Turkish War with the period of total devastation and later resettlement. Landmarks of those times include Pokrovska Tserkva - a 17th-century Orthodox church, also known as Paliy Church (after the Cossack leader Semen Paliy). There is also an early 20th-century Catholic church.
