Киевский сквер, Garden square in Central district of Minsk, Belarus.
Kiev Square is a garden plaza in central Minsk with paved pathways, seating areas, and landscaped green zones. A central fountain serves as a focal point, framed by mature trees that provide shade throughout the space.
The square was created during the 1970s as part of Soviet urban development and officially registered in 2012. This period shaped its layout and function as a public gathering space.
The square is named after Kiev and reflects historical connections between the two cities. Visitors can observe how Soviet urban planning integrated green spaces with central public gathering areas.
The square is easily accessible near the Yakub Kolas and Academy of Sciences metro stations. Multiple pathways and staircases allow visitors to navigate comfortably and reach different areas of the space.
A fountain from the 1980s sat inactive for decades before undergoing complete restoration and reopening in 2022. This revival returned the water feature to working condition and made it a visible element of the square once again.
