In Kiev, there is a place that can be called native Kiev. That's how you can call the mall landscape, which is situated among the beautiful hills, tree-lined tracts and several intricate streets of the old Podil. From here you can admire the magnificent view of the Left Bank. See this alley is simple. Just get to the intersection of Vladimir and Grand streets, and Zhitomir "zanyrnut" courtyards!
Age landscape alley quite young. Back in the 80s of last century it was created by architect Miletskogo. Obviously, this had some free space, which in ancient times was to strengthen the defense and shafts. A little later on steep slopes were two staircases, which led to the landscape avenue. And since this place has become one of the favorite places of Kiev and visitors alike. There have been recently constructed two new buildings where you can relax VIP apartments Kiev.
I must say that this mall originally was conceived as a "first sign" of archaeological open air museum, which is planned to create in this place. It must have been models of housing XI century. In addition, the planned reconstruction of Andrew's descent, and a little to fix the mountain and Horevitsu Poskotinku. However, these dreams have failed to come true.
More recently despite the historical buildings here have decided to build multi-storey building. That is, felt that the place should not be left blank. However, the news quickly responded to the inhabitants of adjacent houses. They raised money, found a contractor and built a wonderful children's park.
first "exhibits" of the park became a "cat-centipede" and "evergreen tree". And after them did not fail to appear "angels in the clouds," "Elephant," "Lovers zebra." And then only have to bend your fingers, because the Sculpture began to grow like mushrooms. In addition, residents of France, was presented this sculpture park, the Little Prince. I must say that these sculptures in the world there are only 3. The last appeared in this park area, which is built on the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland».
But not only the children will be interested in this park. Adults, too, can walk here for hours, while showing interest in the sculptures: "Lovers," "Light" and paying attention to the bizarre benches, each of whom just want to sit a bit. For example, bench-melon, or a bench "Balance", which is designed for two. In addition, there is a quaint bench, cloth bench with a mosaic carpet and bench tram on the roof. It is ridiculous to say, but the adults in this park are behaving like children and try to take pictures almost every such "artifact».
In the immediate vicinity of the mall landscape is the National History Museum, where you can get acquainted with the unique collections of ancient coins, rare books and works of art. Before entering the museum are the remains of the famous Church of the Tithes, which was the first stone structure of Kievan Rus. And next to the ruins of the linden grows, the age which counts 350 years.
