discovered , there is a legend about the city, about the name of the city lydda, probably every city has a beautiful legend that visitors really like, lida has one. it reads as follows: the grand duke the grand duchy of lithuania gedemin had a beautiful daughter lida, who fell in love with an ordinary warrior and decided to throw in her lot with him, but the grand duke had completely different plans, he found a fairly rich groom and not entirely loved by lida, due to the fact that the daughter refused to fulfill demands of her father, gedemin imprisoned her in one of the towers and... and lida could not bear the separation from her beloved, one night she threw herself from a high tower into the river, the river began to be called lideyka, the city itself began to be called lida, but this is such a legend that has not been historically confirmed, there is an opinion that the grand duke

did not have a daughter named lida, but the legend itself is also passed on from mouth to mouth and of course our visitors really like it. are there any? are the secret rooms in the castle accessible? of course, as in every castle there are secret rooms that are opened only once a year, this is mainly at the night of museums, where visitors are offered such a unique night excursion. in our time , litsa castle can safely be called cultural, educational, and entertaining and...

afternoon. hello. fire theater, fire art, fire show. is it really possible for a person to put out a fire without the help of water? i believe that this is possible at the moment. previously, back in the middle ages, ancient times, it could be said that it was practically unrealistic. but in modern realities we do not do such things. directions at the moment, and what tools are next, that is, in the main two of these , light is already used, so leds are already used? various are used, ranging from from eating, these are balls of fire that you will see today at the event, here are snakes, long braids, and also using non-standard tools, in particular sparklst, these are rods that give a large column of sparks,

large fiery figures are cubes, cubic asteroids, they build this is a koop on a chain, as well as pyrotechnics attached to the fireshow tools itself, which is the most difficult and dangerous, what tricks? the most difficult and dangerous thing, we can say, is not the technical numbers that the guys train every day, but the numbers that it happens... they use a large amount of fire, a large number of sparks, at the moment we measured it with a pyrometer, in our opinion the temperature reaches up to 2.0° celsius, something like that, but for a person, what is more dangerous? for a person, burns, banal burns, for girls - it’s natural, hair, because they all have hair styling, but for guys, well , guys who have been cooperating with us for a long time, they have nothing to worry about at all, because they already went through the fire of water, a copper pipe, as...

they do, you have to spin with them, and spinning around and doing various cobbatic elements is quite difficult and it will be almost impossible for an unprepared person to do it. how long does it take to study? it takes six months to a year to train, so that a person can learn how to handle fire well, learn how to use technical means, and

also so that he overcomes the psychological threshold, so that he is not afraid of fire, because absolutely all people inherently have this fear. lita castle is shrouded in romantic legends medieval battles and marriages, it lures tourists with theatrical performances, knightly tournaments and vibrant show programs, providing an opportunity to get acquainted with the history of ancient belarus and
