Khreshchatyk<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Khreshchatyk  is the main street\nof Kyiv, Ukraine. The street is not very\nlong but very impressive. It is one of the shortest street in the world. The\nstreet has a length of 1.2 km\n(0.81 mi).\nIt stretches from the European\n Square (northeast) through the Maidan and to Bessarabska Square\n(southwest) where the Besarabsky Market is located. Along the street are the\noffices of the Kiev City Council which contains both the city’s council and the\nstate administration, the Main Post Office, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy,\nthe State Committee of Television and Radio Broadcasting, the Central\nDepartment Store (TsUM), the Ukrainian House, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Khreshchatyk looks especially beautiful in spring when chestnut trees\nare in blossom. The building of this street began at the end of the 18th\ncentury. The first houses were wooden. The forming of Khreshchatyk as a street\nbegan in the 1830s-40s. Three-storeyed buildings with shops, offices and banks\nwere built at this time. In 1892 the first electric tram in the country\nconnected Khreshchatyk with Podil. At the beginning of the 20th century\nKhreshchatyk became the shopping centre of the city. During the Second World\nWar Khreshchatyk was destroyed. While being reconstructed the street was twice\nwidened and a lot of new multistoreyed buildings appeared. The first skyscraper\nwas build on Khreshchatyk Street.\nAll the buildings are built after the same architectural design.
