Rotunda of Peoples Friendship in Poltava, Cultural heritage rotunda in Poltava, Ukraine.
The White Colonnade features eight Doric columns arranged in a circular pattern, rising nine meters above the ground with white stone construction.
Built in 1909 to mark 200 years since the Battle of Poltava, the structure stands on the former Podolsky bastion where Peter the Great met local craftsmen.
The rotunda holds inscriptions of Ivan Kotlyarevsky's poetry inside its circular space, connecting visitors to Ukrainian literary traditions.
The rotunda remains open throughout the year, offering visitors panoramic views of the surrounding park and serving as a meeting point for celebrations.
Local blacksmiths shaped the structure in a horseshoe pattern, following a tale about fixing Tsar Peter's horse's shoe after the historic battle.
