This is a beautiful postcard from Kyiv, Ukraine. This card shows architectural ensemble of Mykhailivskyy gold-topped cathedral. It is one from the most interesting landmarks of Kyiv.

Unfortunately, ancient cathedral was not saved, so cathedral from the postcard was rebuilt and opened in 1999. It was originally built in the Middle Ages by Sviatopolk II Iziaslavych.

 I saw this Cathedral when I visited Kyiv in 2008. It's a really nice place with unique atmosphere. Recommend to visit :)
