Independence Square (Ukrainian: Майдан Незалежності, trb. Maidan Nezalezhnosti) - the main square in the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, located in the Shevchenkiv region, a place of important state ceremonies and cultural events.

The present appearance of the square is the result of a thorough reconstruction in 2002. The earlier socialist realist style, with a large number of fountains, was replaced with a more modern one.

History:

1151 - the first mention of the Lacki Gate and Lacki Słoboda that exist in this place

1240 - The Mongols attack the Padole Gate as the first

1516 - King Zygmunt I privileges the largest Kiev fair, the so-called Krszczeński, lasting from January 6 for 20 days

1604 - the name Biskupie appears in the document of King Sigismund III

around 1730 - the first wooden buildings appear, around 1850, made of brick

until 1871 - there is a market on the then Chreszczatycki square, and games are held

1876 - the newly built building becomes the seat of the city council, the square is named "Dumski"

1913 - the monument to Piotr Stolypin was officially unveiled, demolished in 1917

1919 - the name was changed to Plac Radziecki

1922 - the statue of Karl Marx stands on the square, dismantled in the 1930s

1935 - the square is named after Kalinina

1977 - Kalinina Square was renamed the October Revolution Square after a major renovation

1977 - a monument to the October Revolution erected on the square, knocked down in 1991

1991 - the square receives its present name

2004-2005 - Independence Square becomes the scene of the Orange Revolution

2007 - demonstrations related to the political crisis

2013-2014 - protests against the failure to sign an association agreement with the European Union

Partly it is a bit annoying, as one is often talked about. Costumed want to take pictures with one, there are also monkeys / pigeons / snakes and the whole tour program. These people should be avoided at an early stage, because they often come to you unpleasantly.

Souvenirs can be bought cheaper at the small local dealers a bit off. Also here is the only post we found in the city. It also sells postcards and stamps in a small shop (which must have a small euro symbol if they are to arrive in the EU).

Directly below the Maidan is a shopping center with supermarket and public toilets.
