SOME FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF LONDON
St Paul’s Cathedral
The Great Fire of London in 1666
burnt the medieval cathedral to the ground, so Londoners needed a new one. Sir
Christopher Wren started building St Paul’s in 1675. It took him 35 years to
finish it. St Paul’s Cathedral has a 48 m high dome (a rounded roof). You can
walk around its base on the inside. This part is called the Whispering Gallery.
When you whisper against its wall, your friend can hear your whisper on the
other side - 48 m away. That means good acoustics.
The Houses of Parliament
This huge building is the home of the
British government. Members of Parliament are also called MPs. People choose
them in elections which take place every 4 to 5 years. The task of Parliament
is to make laws. Big Ben is the name of the bell (13.7 tonnes) inside the Clock
Tower which forms part of the Houses of Parliament.
The Gherkin
The Gherkin is one of the most famous
high-rise buildings in London. It was designed by the famous British architect
Norman Foster. You can see its top from far away. Some people say it looks like
a rocket, but most people simply call it the Gherkin. It was built in such a
way as to save energy, so the heating and cooling costs are not too high.
The Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Bridge is a bridge
over the River Thames.
People like walking over it because
there is no traffic on it. It’s 144 m long. The bridge has got the nickname —
‘Wobbly Bridge’. When it first opened in 2000, thousands of people who walked
across felt a gentle movement underfoot. The bridge was closed, the problem
fixed and it was reopened on 2 February 2002. In the film Harry Potter and the
Half Blood Prince, Lord Voldemort’s Death Eaters try to destroy the bridge and after
some twisting, it collapses into the Thames. Luckily, that was just a film!

KYIV
Kyiv was the capital of ancient
Kyivan Rus. Zoloti Vorota was the main entrance to the city. This is
often the starting point of many tours round Kyiv.
The St Sophia Cathedral was founded by Yaroslav the Wise in
1037. The cathedral was the centre of learning and culture in Kyivan Rus.
Prince Yaroslav himself was buried here. There are many beautiful mosaics and
frescos in the cathedral.
In front of the cathedral there is the
Statue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky.
St Michael’s Zolotoverkhyi Monastery, named after the Kyiv’s patron
saint, shines with its beautiful golden domes on the other side of the square.
Andriyivsky Uzviz keeps its charm for the tourists.
The street is named after Apostol Andriy, who climbed the hill here. One who
walks up ‘the uzviz’ can see a wonderful St Andrew’s Church that was built
in 1754 by Italian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
Tourists and pilgrims shouldn’t
ignore the Kyivo-Pecherska Lavra with its numerous caves.
Maydan Nezalezhnosti is a
fountain-filled square and the city’s most popular meeting place. It is known
as the heart of
Ukraine’s Orange Revolution of 2004
and the Revolution of Dignity of 2013-2014. All the streets in the centre seem
to flow into Maydan Nezalezhnosti. One of them is the famous Nebesna Sotnya
Alley with the monument to the heroes of the Revolution of Dignity, who gave
their lives for the better future of Ukraine.
Maydan Nezalezhnosti is on Khreshchatyk,
Kyiv’s main street of 1,5 km long.
On the hill of the square there
is a path that leads to the House of Chimeras with
its fairy animals. It was built at the start of the 20th century by the
architect Vladyslav Horodetsky.
There is a huge building of the
Presidential Administration not far from it as well as Verkhovna Rada building,
Mariyinsky Palace and the National Philarmonic.
All the paths lead to the viewpoint
looking down on the Statue of Volodymyr the Great, who brought
Christianity to the eastern Slavs in 988.
Some of Kyiv’s attractions are
half-day-away adventures. For example, the Pyrohovo Museum of Folk
Architecture is 12 km south of Kyiv. The place is worth of seeing. This
‘open-air’ museum is one of the best enjoyments.
Kyiv has become one of the most
beautiful European cities. Parks and gardens cover one half of its territory.
Kyiv’s monuments of the past look well among modern building, theatres, cinemas
and trading centres. You can find yourself face to face with many other places
of interest in Kyiv.
