About Independence Monument
On Kyiv's central Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) stands the Independence Monument, erected in 2001 to commemorate Ukraine's founding as a state. The 63-meter column combines Ukrainian Baroque with Empire-style elements and rests on a massive granite base. The structure is crowned by a gilded bronze statue of a Slavic guardian goddess in traditional dress, holding a symbolic guelder rose branch. One of the capital's most important sights, the monument offers an impressive focal point in the heart of the city and embodies Ukraine's national identity.
