Starokyivska Hora, Archaeological site on Upper City Hill in Kyiv, Ukraine
Located on a plateau between the Dnipro River and Lybid River, Starokyivska Hora extends across 80 hectares of elevated terrain in central Kyiv.
The settlement transformed into Prince Volodymyr's city during the late 10th century, featuring a palace and the Church of the Tithes across 8 hectares of land.
The site contains multiple religious structures from the 11th century, including Saint Sophia Cathedral, Saint Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, and the Golden Gate.
The archaeological area became a historical preserve in 1945, allowing researchers to study the development of medieval Eastern European urban settlements.
The northwestern section holds remains of the original city founded by Kyi in the 6th century, marking the beginning of Kyiv's urban development.
