Capital and largest city of the Ukraine; a major manufacturing and transportation centre. Kiev (Kyiv) is one of the more beautiful cities in Europe.
Founded 1500 years ago, Kiev is the bustling capital of newly independent Ukraine. This city, with a population of 2.8 million people is distinguished for its rich architecture and cultural life. The greatest monument of Kiev, the Pecherska Lavra, built almost nine centuries ago, dominates the Dnipro Hills. A complex of churches, masterpieces of architecture by themselves, has been a holy place of worship for devout Christians. Famous for its catacombs with the saints’ relics, Lavra is also called the Monastery of Caves. Museum collections of miniatures and church treasures amaze visitors from all over the world.
