A baroque blue-walled monastery with seven gold cupolas, perched on the hill above Maidan Nezalezhnosti. Founded in 1108 by Sviatopolk II, demolished by Stalin in 1936, and rebuilt from old photographs and plans after Ukrainian independence — most of the present building dates from the late 1990s.
The interior is mostly new but a handful of restituted medieval mosaics survive, including the head of Saint Demetrius. The square in front, with its statue of Princess Olga and the Saint Sophia bell tower visible across Volodymyrsky Proizd, is one of the most photographed views in the city.
