Postal Square

Poshtova Square (, translit.: "Poshtova Ploshcha", literally: "Postal Square") in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, is one of the oldest historic squares of the city. Archaeological findings are dated back to the 4th century.
A crossing of several historic streets such as Volodymyrsky Descent, Borychiv Descent and Sahaydachny Street, the square is located at the Dnieper riverfront right next to the Kyiv River Port.
The square received its name from Podil post station that was opened there in 1846. The square was also known under an alternative name as Rizdvo (Christmas) Square, derived from Rizdvo Church built in 1810-1814 and destroyed in the 1930s. The square underwent a significant reconstruction in the 1970s when the Kurenivsko-Chervonoarmiyska (today Obolonsko–Teremkivska Metro line) was built and only the post station was preserved. Currently, the post station is used as a small art gallery.
At spring-summer 2013, the square is being renovated significantly to reroute traffic around it.
Family festivals are held on Postal Square annually in summer. In the open air, children and parents can have fun together at any of ten locations - enjoy music, take part in various games, sports competitions and creative master classes. According to the organizers, the creation of a comfortable place for family leisure and preserving family values is the main goal of the festival.
