Square of the Constitution

Constitution Square is one of the most remarkable places in Kharkiv. This is one of the oldest central squares, founded in 1659, simultaneously with the Kharkiv Ostrog. During the history of its existence, it has changed many names, among them - Tevelev Square, Soviet Ukraine Square, Fair Square and Mykolaiv Square.

The length of the Constitution Square is 550 meters, and the width varies from 40 to 130 meters. In November 1975, a monument was opened here in honor of the proclamation of Soviet power in Ukraine. Under the square there are two metro stations – “Soviet” and “Historical Museum”. It should also be noted that from here begins Moskovsky Prospekt - the longest street in the city.

The Constitution Square is literally dotted with sights, the most prominent among them are: Theatre of Puppets, House of Technics, Four-storey building "Oriental sweets", Monument of Independence of Ukraine, Palace of Labor, Restaurant "Central", as well as a favorite meeting place for Kharkiv residents - Gradusnik monument, whose height reaches 16 meters.
