One of the most famous Kyiv sights is the central square of Maidan Nezalezhnisti or simply "Maidan" (translated from Ukrainian - "square"). The first mention of this place in historical chronicles dates back to the 9th century AD. Until the tenth century there was a swamp, until the Kiev prince Yaroslav the Wise built fortifications there, guarding the Upper City. Through the Lyadsky Gate, located on the site of the modern Maidan, the Tatar-Mongol troops invaded Kiev in 1240. For a long time, until the end of the eighteenth century, there was a wasteland with several small farmsteads, through which a stream flowed. This area at that time was called "Goat bog", "Hreshata valley". The first stone two-storey house on the central street of Kyiv, named Khreshchatyk, which crosses the Maidan, was built in 1797 by the landowner Onufriy Golovin.
Massive development of the territory of the Maidan and around it began in the nineteenth century. In 1876, the building of the City Duma (City Council) was built there. The Duma building and almost all other buildings on the square were destroyed during the German occupation of 1941-1943 (Second World War).
During its history, the central square of Kiev has had many names: Khreschatytska, Dumska, Radianska, Kalinin, Zhovtnevoi revolution and now it is called Independence Square.
The last large-scale reconstruction of the square was carried out in 2001.
Many well-known events took place on the Maidan, and one of the most recent was the confrontation between citizens and government services in 2013-14.
On a tour of Kyiv (Kiev) a stop is planned, during which the guide will tell you much more about the history of the Maidan.
