Saint Vladimir Monument, Bronze monument in Kyiv, Ukraine
A 20-meter-tall monument features a 4.4-meter bronze statue of Prince Vladimir holding a large cross on the lower terrace of Vladimir Hill.
Designed by architect Alexander Ton and sculptor Vasily Demut-Malinovsky, the monument was officially unveiled on October 10, 1853, becoming the oldest surviving sculpture in Kyiv.
The monument represents Prince Vladimir of Kyiv, who established Christianity as the state religion of Kievan Rus in 988, connecting the region with European civilization.
The monument stands in Vladimir Hill Park, 500 meters from Poshtova Square metro station, offering views of the Dnipro River and the eastern part of Kyiv.
The pedestal of the monument contains a relief depicting the baptism of the Rus people and, according to local tales, conceals a deep well beneath its foundation.
