This photograph showcases the stunning Fountain and Monument in Kiev's Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti), Ukraine. The monument pays homage to the legendary founders of the city, the three brothers Kyi (also known as Kij, Kijy, or Kyj), Schek, and Khoryv (also Khoriv), and their sister Lybid (Lybed). Archaeological excavations have revealed an ancient settlement in the area, dating back to the 6th century. The names of these mythical figures are believed to be linked to geographical features, such as hills, mountains, and rivers. The monument depicts the brothers and their sister standing proudly, each holding a symbolic object. Kyi holds a city on a helmet, Schek wields a heroic bow, and Khoryv holds an arrow and a horn. Lybid, the sister, is shown holding a cup. The brothers are dressed in traditional heroic attire, adding to the heroic and mythical atmosphere of the monument. The fountain in the foreground adds an element of tranquility and beauty to the scene, creating a perfect harmony between the historical and the natural. The water cascades down gracefully, reflecting the monument and the clear blue sky above. The rich history and mythology of Kiev are beautifully encapsulated in this monument, reminding us of the city's ancient roots and the heroic figures that shaped its past. The monument and fountain in Independence Square are a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Kiev, Ukraine.
