For more than two weeks, the Russian attack on Ukraine soil has started a war between the two countries. While the war has devastating effects on the country in many different aspects, this article will introduce the 7 Wonders of Ukraine, which the war might damage. Learn about the “Ukrainian seven wonders” here. In 2007, this list of the most interesting monuments was created by a vote of the Ukrainian public and hundreds of experts.
The most sacred site of Ukrainian Orthodox believers covers 28 hectares on the hills above the Dnieper River in the capital city of Kyiv. Due to this location, the shimmering golden domes of the monastery complex can be seen from far away. As this important Orthodox monastery is called, Lavra was established in the middle of the 11th century by two pilgrims.
However, at the time, it was only a labyrinth of caves where the monks lived. Only in later centuries did the temples above become a spiritual and cultural center, printing books and producing icons. In addition to the religious buildings, there are several museums.
