Ukraine's 13 places line up west to east, Saint George's Cathedral first and Sviatohirsk Lavra last, 980 km apart. The densest patch is in the west, where Khotyn Fortress, Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans and Kamianets-Podilskyi Castle sit within 120 km. Sviatohirsk Lavra sits alone, 530 km from Mariinskyi Palace, its nearest neighbour in the set.
