Transcarpathia is the westernmost region of Ukraine, where a significant Hungarian community still lives along the Tisza and around Berehove (Beregsz\u00e1sz).<\/p>\n

Its Catholic churches of Gothic origin, Reformed churches with painted coffered ceilings and the Greek Catholic tradition \u2013 led by the cathedral of Uzhhorod (Ungv\u00e1r) \u2013 together give the region its distinctive religious character.<\/p>\n
