THINGS TO SEE IN
KYIV
Kyiv, the capital
of Ukraine, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is located on
the scenic banks of the Dnipro River. There are a lot of parks, tree-lined
broad and straight streets in our capital.
Kyiv is one of the
oldest cities of Europe and it has many places of historic interest. Among them
are famous churches, cathedrals and monasteries, because Kyiv is the ancestral
home of Christianity in Kyivan Rus.
If you want to
discover Kyiv, it is best to start with a tour on a sightseeing bus. Would you
like to start your tour with visiting the imposing building of St. Volodymyr
Cathedral? It was built in 1882 in a new Byzantic style by the architect
Baretti. It is a traditionally Slavic six-column, three apse church crowned by
seven cupolas. The height to the top of the cross on the main cupola is 48.9 m.
The murals of the church interior are of considerable artistic significance.
They were made in 1885—1896 by the
famous Russian painters such as Nesterov, Vasnetsov, and Prakhov. The mosaics
lining the cathedral's interior were made by Venitian masters.
A visit to St
Sophia Cathedral may be the highlight of your stay in Kyiv. Kyivites say that
if you do not see it while here, then you did not see Kyiv. The church was
built in 1037 by Prince Yaroslav the Wise on the site of a battle-field to
commemorate the victory over the Pechenegs (Asian nomadic tribes) and to glorify
the wisdom of Christianity (Sophia in Greek means "wisdom").
The most visitors
are impressed by the beauty of St Andrew's Church. This church stands elegantly
outlined against Kyiv skyline. It was built in 1748 by the architect
Rastrelli, who also built the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg and the
Mariyinsky Palace in Kyiv. From its terraces the famous writer Gogol used to
look down at the lower town of Podil. The winding brick street Andriyvski Uzviz
leading up the hill to the church has a variety of interesting art galleries
and shops. This is one of the best areas to find traditional Ukrainian crafts
and arts.
Kyiv Pecherska
Lavra Monastery is one of the most famous sites of Kyiv. "Lavra" is
the term used by the Orthodox Church for its largest monastery. It was built in
the eleventh century. The monks lived in caves under the monastery, which still
can be visited. The famous monk Nestor wrote the chronicle "The Story of
Begone Days" while living in this monastery. Lavra incorporates a number
of old buildings, churches and museums. There is a lot to see there.
