Introduction
Independence Square, located in the center of Kiev, is divided into east and west by the main street, Khreshchatyk. The square was a strategic base during the Orange Revolution of Ukraine in 2004, and in the Soviet era, it was known as the October Revolution Square.
Although the terrain of Independence Square is not flat, it offers a wide view. The southeast corner is home to the National Tchaikovsky Music Academy, with a memorial column outside the gate topped with the Slavic goddess Berehynia. Next to the column, there is a fountain and a group of heroes, including the three brothers Kyi, Shchek, and Khoryv, who are said to have founded Kiev.
In contrast, the west side of the square is much simpler, with only an old city gate, the southwest corner post office, and the Earth Column as a monument. Below the Earth Column, there is a large underground mall called Globus and a shopping street connected to the subway station. Address Independence Square City Centre
