Kaniv, Historic river port in Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine
Located on the right bank of the Dnieper River, Kaniv extends across elevated terrain with numerous administrative buildings and residential districts along the waterfront.
Established in 1078 as a fortress city, Kaniv developed into a significant trading point along the water route connecting northern Europe with Constantinople.
The Shevchenko National Preserve contains the burial site of Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko, making the city a center for Ukrainian literary heritage.
The Kaniv Hydroelectric Station provides substantial power generation for the region while supporting local industrial development and employment opportunities.
