Taras Hill, Summit in Kaniv, Ukraine
The elevated location of Taras Hill rises near the Dnieper River, offering a natural overlook of the surrounding Ukrainian countryside and water expanse.
Following his death in 1861, the remains of Taras Shevchenko were transferred from St. Petersburg to this hill, which became his final resting place.
The hill forms part of the Shevchenko National Preserve, featuring a bronze statue created by sculptor Matvey Manizer and a museum building from 1939.
Visitors can reach the summit through marked pathways that lead to the memorial complex, museum, and observation points overlooking the Dnieper River.
In 1978, the hill witnessed Oleksa Hirnyk's self-immolation protest against Soviet suppression of Ukrainian cultural expression.
