Freedom Square, Central square in Kharkiv, Ukraine
Freedom Square extends 720 meters in length and 110 meters in width, making it the eighth largest city square in Europe.
The square changed names multiple times since 1926, from Veterinarnaya to Dzerzhynskoho, then German Army Square during World War II, before receiving its current name.
The removal of Lenin's statue in 2014 marked a shift from Soviet influence, leading to the installation of a public fountain in 2020.
The Regional Administration Building sits on the square's perimeter, while the Hotel Kharkiv defines its northern border near Sumska Street.
In 2008, the square hosted a Queen and Paul Rodgers concert that drew 350,000 people, resulting in the Live in Ukraine DVD release.
