Kyiv is famous for its historical places. Lying amid hills along the Dnipro River and filled with gardens and parks, Kyiv is one of Europe's most beautiful cities, as well as a treasury of medieval art and architecture. Its out­standing buildings include famous historical monuments. Among them the Golden. Gate, the 11th-century Cathedral of St. Sophia which was modeled in Constantinople and con­tains splendid mosaics, frescoes and icons.
