Kropyvnytskyi, Administrative center in central Ukraine
Kropyvnytskyi is a regional capital in central Ukraine that spreads along both banks of the Inhul River. Residential neighborhoods connect through bridges, while parks and wide avenues shape the cityscape between multistory buildings from the Soviet period and older structures.
The settlement began in 1754 as a fortress built to protect against raids from the south. During the 19th century, it grew into a trading center and received town status in 1860 under the name Yelisavetgrad.
The Theater of Coryphaei shapes the cultural life of the city and draws visitors from across the region for evening performances. Before shows, people gather under the columns of the neoclassical building on the front square, talking about productions and waiting for the doors to open.
The central railway station and bus terminal sit close to the city core and offer connections in all directions across the country. Trams and buses run regularly through the main streets, making it easy for visitors to move between key neighborhoods.
During the 19th century, British investors operated several factories here that produced machinery for farming and attracted workers from different regions. These industrial plants shaped the economic life of the city and left traces in the architecture of some neighborhoods.
