Description of the sight
In 1882, the city authorities decided to lease to the Merchant Assembly of Kyiv a derelict section of the Tsar's Garden behind the European Square. So the Merchant's Garden appeared on the map of the city - now Khreshchaty Park. After the construction of the building of the Merchant Assembly in front of the park, its territory gradually began to be put in order. In 1901, the Summer Theater was built in the garden with a shell stage, on which musical performances were given for everyone. This place was very popular among the people of Kiev. In 1982, the stage was demolished, and in its place was opened the "arch of friendship of peoples" - a monument dedicated to the unification of Ukraine and Russia, the most noticeable architectural element of the park. The first two water towers of Kyiv (built in 1872 and 1876) are located in Khreshchaty Park. Today, after restoration, the towers house the Museum of Water and the Water Information Center. On the territory of the park, in a building similar to a toy castle, the Kyiv Academic Puppet Theater is located. The park paths near the theater are decorated with sculptures of famous fairy tale characters.
