About the project

Kyiv is an open and inclusive city that welcomes everyone who comes here, regardless of origin, language or history. It is a big home where everyone can find their place: a native, a migrant, a guest from abroad or a tourist. There is no division here into “their own” and “strangers” – the city creates a space for equal opportunities, support and mutual respect.

The capital of Ukraine stands as the heart of the country and a symbol of unity, combining ancient history and modern meanings. It offers not only architecture and culture, but also a special atmosphere of mutual care, shelter and new beginnings. “The city of everyone” is Kyiv, where you can feel at home even when you come here for the first time, and which always remains a part of the life of those who have touched its rhythm at least once.

Lvivska Square

Lvivska Square
Route

Lvivska Square is one of Kyiv’s oldest squares, located in the Shevchenkivskyi district in the historic area of Old Kyiv. It has been known since the times of Kyivan Rus as a marketplace and an important defensive hub connected to the Golden Gate of Kyiv and the former Jewish Gate. The square received its modern name in 1869 from the Lviv Gate of the Old Kyiv Fortress of the 17th–18th centuries.

Its present appearance is defined by notable examples of Soviet-era architecture, including the House of Trade and the House of Artists. Lviv Square remains an important transport hub linking Old Kyiv with Podil, Maidan Nezalezhnosti, and Halytska Square.

In 2016, a monument to Anne of Kyiv was unveiled here, emphasizing the historical continuity and symbolic significance of this location for Kyiv.
