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.
