We would like to introduce you to the concept of Zofiivka Park. This is the city's biggest attraction, and is highly rated by both residents and tourists. At this stage it is necessary to introduce the history of the famous "Zofiówka". The park was founded by Stanislaw Potocki, in honor of his wife Zofia ( hence the name of the park). The construction of the park cost a fortune, work on the construction took several years. A variety of vegetation from different corners of Europe was planted here. The park was characterized by a large area of about 160 hectares ( today the park is about 180 hectares). It was built in a romantic style, here we have ponds, rivers, as well as a 224-meter long overland channel. An island with a fountain was created on one of the ponds.Interestingly, dozens of small buildings typical of park architecture were erected in the park. These included gazebos, busts, sculptures, grottos andobelisks. Later, the famous Zofiówka faced problems due to the fact that it was confiscated by Tsar Nicholas I. Some sculptures, such as those of Jozef Poniatowski and Tadeusz Kosciuszko, were also removed. Today, the park has regained its splendor and is the city's most important attraction. Zofiivka ranks among the seven wonders on Ukrainian territory.
