@velesyx: According to legend, Kyiv was founded by three brothers—Kyi, Shchek, and Khoryv—and their sister Lybid. The city was named in honor of the eldest brother. The official date of its foundation is considered to be 482 AD, meaning the city is over 1,540 years old. The capital of Ukraine is located in the northern part of the country, on the banks of the Dnipro River, which divides the metropolis into the hilly, historical right bank and the flat left bank. What else Kyiv is known for: Depth record: Arsenalna metro station is the deepest in the world. It was built at a depth of 105.5 meters, and the escalator ride down takes about 5 minutes. Main street: Khreshchatyk is only 1.3 kilometers long. It is one of the shortest, yet widest (up to 100 meters), central streets in Europe. UNESCO Heritage: The city preserves unique 11th-century architectural monuments, including the famous Saint Sophia Cathedral and the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. City symbol: Kyiv is historically considered one of the greenest metropolises in Eastern Europe, and its main natural hallmark is the chestnut tree. // #kyiv #kyivukraine #ukraine #київ #україна
