Maidan Nezalezhnosti was completely rebuilt in 2001, removing old look with many fountains, and setting up new, more modernist look with bronze compositions (featuring legendary founders of Kyiv, Kiy, Schek, Horiv and Lybid, folklore hero Mamay and city's protector, Archangel Mikhail) and glass domes. Also huge underground market complexes under city center's were built, featuring the Globe, underground marketplace under Maidan Nezalezhnosti.
