One of the things I love about Kyiv are all the beautiful, colorful buildings. Walking down any street in Center is an adventure into the past. A lot of Kyiv was destroyed in World War II and so what remains and what has been built since then is amazing to me. I love the history of this wonderful city.
"The world has other cities that are older, bigger, richer, smarter and more comfortable. But Kyiv is beautiful and unique in its own way. The architectural ambience of the city has been built up over fifteen centuries of construction. Set amidst the natural landscape, the city's architectural masterpieces create a unique impresion. Many historic monuments are preserved in Kyiv. These memorials remind us of the outstanding Kyivans who made their city famous throughout all the continents."
In future blogs I will focus on the monuments and the churches, but this blog is just a walk down the streets of Kyiv admiring the architecture of the buildings.
