Kyiv (Kiev) usually is the first place you arriving to in Ukraine and Majdan Nezalezhnosti is the central place of Kiev, its focal point and start for every tourist rout. This is a huge square crossed by Kreshchatyk street. Centuries ago, mongolian khan Batyj installed his trebuchets here and succeeded to destroy Kiev's walls and seized the city. There is a monument of Mikhael Arkhangel (city protector) standing on remaining substructure of ancient walls now. Another noteworthy - 3-level underground mall under the square surface with shops, cafes and restaurants. This design of Majdan was created just 10 years ago and disliked by many people. We believe this reconstructure was needed only for one purpose: to build huge underground mall. Former (soviet) design of central square was more attractive and beautiful. Due to a lot of glass in compositions inhabitants compare Majdan with glasshouse.
