Tarass Shevtchenko Tomb, Memorial tomb on Chernecha Hill, Kaniv, Ukraine
A bronze monument stands atop a granite pedestal at the burial site, offering views of the Dnipro River and surrounding landscape.
After his death in Saint Petersburg in 1861, Taras Shevchenko's remains were transported to Kaniv according to his final wishes.
The memorial site includes a museum complex showcasing Shevchenko's literary works, personal belongings, and artistic contributions to Ukrainian heritage.
Visitors can reach the memorial by climbing 342 steps from the base of Chernecha Hill or using the modern elevator system.
The original wooden cross marking the grave was replaced in 1884 with a cast iron monument, later superseded by the current bronze statue in 1939.
