Volodymyrska Hill or Saint Volodymyr Hill (Ukrainian: Володимирська гірка) is a large
(10.6 hectares) park located on the steep right-bank of the Dnipro (Dnieper) River in central Kyiv.
Its most famous landmark is the Monument to Prince Volodymyr the Great, built in 1853.
The first historical reference to Volodymyr Hill was in the Primary Chronicles of Kyivan Rus, with the description of the Saint Michael's Golden-Domed Cathedral, built in 1108 by order of the Kyiv prince Svyatopolk-Mykhailo II.
The first buildings in Kyiv were located there.
The Hill provides an excellent panorama of the Dnipro River, the Left Bank, and Podil.
This is really romantic and beautiful place, especially during sunsets.
