Great Choral Synagogue, Kyiv

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to the epigraphic data, it already existed in the late 18th century. It appears on old maps since the 1870s.

The Ar-Rahma Mosque was built between 1996 and 2011 for the Muslim community in Kyiv. In 1897, according to official data, 1759 Muslims lived in Kyiv. On 3 October 1897, by decision of the city administration, a house of prayer was opened in a house, a two-storey wooden building which has not survived to the present day. On 29 October 1913, Governor Mikhail Sukovkin laid the foundation stone of the first stone mosque in Gogolivska Street. However, the mosque was not built during the First World War, then during the October Revolution, and later the construction was hampered by the Second World War.

According to the legend, the foundation stone of St. Andrew's Church was laid by the apostle Andrew (1st century). In 1112, Prince Mstislav I had the wooden church of the Exaltation of the Cross built here, which stood until 1560. After that, the site remained empty and served as a rampart for the nearby fortress. Empress Elisabeth of Russia (1741-1762), during her visit to Kyiv in 1744, ordered the construction of a court church on the site of the cross in honour of the Apostle Andrew, who was also the patron saint of the Tsarist Empire. After its consecration in 1767, the church was renovated several times, but no significant changes were made. Because of its lightness and plasticity, the church is called a "flying church". Its artistic expression and originality make St Andrew's Church one of the masterpieces of Ukrainian architecture of the 18th century.
