KYIV LANDMARKS
 GOLDEN GATE

• The Golden Gate is one of the few

monuments of defensive architecture of
Kievan Rus during the reign of Yaroslav
the Wise. Under Yaroslav the Wise, the
territory of the city was actively
growing. The city of Yaroslav the Wise
was surrounded by earthen ramparts with
a total length of 3.5 kilometers they
passed through the current streets of
the center of Kyiv - from Lvivska
Square along Yaroslaviv Val Street to
the Golden Gate, descended to
Independence Square and again rose up
to Mykhailivska Square.
 ST. SOPHIA CATHEDRAL

• Hagia Sophia (St. Sophia

Cathedral) - a church built in the
XI century in the center of Kiev
by order of Yaroslav the Wise. At
the turn of the XVII-XVIII
centuries it was rebuilt in the
Ukrainian Baroque style. Inside
the cathedral are preserved some
original frescoes and mosaics,
including the famous mosaic of Our
Lady of Oranta.

 INDEPENDENCE SQUARE

• Independence Square is the heart of the

capital of Ukraine, which beats in
unison with the events experienced by
