    The monument to the founders is one of the hallmarks of Kiev. You should definitely see it. It's good to get there by bike. In the summer in the evening there are lights and fountains.

    The monument to the founders of Kiev (Ukrainian Пам’ятний знак на честь заснування міста Києва) is a group of sculptures built on May 22, 1982 for the 1500th anniversary of Kiev and a landmark of the Ukrainian capital Kiev. It is supposed to commemorate the legendary founders of Kiev.

    It represents a nine meter long boat that is carried by three waves. Kyj and his brothers Shchek and Horiv stand in the stern of the boat, while sister Lybiddie stands at the bow of the boat with outstretched arms.
