Kharkiv, Konstytutsii Square

About this place

Konstytutsii Square can safely be called the heart of Kharkiv. This square is located in the very center of the city and is the intersection point of many streets: Sumska, Universytetska, Rymarska, Moskovskyi Avenue, and others. In addition, this place is almost as old as Kharkiv itself. As far back as the 17th century, the square played a strategic role, hosting fairs and theatrical performances.

The square received its modern name, Independence Square, in 1996, and in its honor the central Independence monument, Flying Ukraine, was installed in 2012
