Пам'ятник володимиру
На високій Володимирській горі стоїть пам'ятник Володимиру Святославичу.Володимир дивиться вниз, де проходила річка Почайна, в якій кияни приймали хрещення.
Цар Микола II дав згоду на проведення збору коштів на будівництво пам'ятника 11 жовтня 1832 року. Але додав, що скульптура Володимира Великого повинна бути зроблена на високому професійному рівні і відповідати грандіозній ролі, яку відіграв великий київський князь в історії всієї Русі. Святкове відкриття пам'ятника відбулося 10 жовтня 1853 року у присутності багатьох киян. Загальна висота монумента 20 м, висота фігури - 4,5 м. Майданчик, на якому стоїть Володимир, здіймається над Дніпром на 70 м, а сама гора - немов гігантський постамент, створений природою. Князь Володимир зображений на весь зріст, з гордо піднятою головою, в той момент, коли тайна хрещення вже звершилася. У правій руці Володимир тримає хрест-символ його великої ролі у хрещенні Русі. У його лівій руці -великокняжа шапка. Він одягнутий у старовинний полужупан з накидкою на плечі і мантією.
