Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square)

Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) got its present name in 1991 after establishment of Ukraine’s sovereignty.

About the place

In 2001 the square was reconstructed. The sculptural composition with a big statue of Lenin was taken away, and in its place the monument in honour of Ukraine’s Independence was installed. It is a high column crowned by a statue of young woman in traditional Ukrainian attire, holding high in her hands a branch of guelder-rose – a symbol of Ukraine.

Several post-war buildings are on the square: Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music (1955-1959) and Central Post Office (1952-1957).

Майдан - сердце Киева. Стоит посетить обязательно. Невероятно красивый вид на площадь открывается со сквера на верху ТЦ "Глобус"
