Stunning view of the bell tower of St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery photographed during the golden hour of sunset in Kyiv. The baroque tower with its characteristic golden dome topped by the Orthodox cross stands majestically against the twilight sky. In the foreground stand the monuments dedicated to Princess Olga of Kyiv, the first Christian ruler of Rus', and to Saints Cyril and Methodius, apostles of the Slavs. Mykhailivska Square represents one of the symbolic places of Ukrainian spirituality and history, where faithful and visitors gather admiring this masterpiece of Orthodox religious architecture.
