Hohol Boulevard

In Poltava, from Pushkina Street to Sobornosti Street, runs a four-row linden alley — Hohol Boulevard. It is a botanical natural monument and one of the most beautiful places for a walk in Poltava. The alley was laid out in 1903, but it was named after the famous writer only in 1909, when the city marked the 100th anniversary of M. V. Hohol’s birth.

Interesting facts:

• The monument to Hohol was created to a design by the sculptor L. Pozen in 1915. However, the monument was installed on the boulevard only in 1934.
• In 1947, there were plans to greatly enlarge and widen the boulevard, but the idea was only partially carried out.
• The boulevard is 350 m long.
