One of the most unusual places for recreation and entertainmentin Kiev - the Green Theater, built on the territory of the ancient Pechora fortress and resembling an amphitheater in shape. The institution is located under the open sky, on the banks of the Dnieper. In Kiev - this is one of the best places for a party, concert or other entertainment.
History of occurrence
According to some archival records,The original design, in place of which today is located the Green Theater (Kiev), went deep into the earth on 9 levels. By the middle of the XIX century, there was a need to strengthen the territory of the Pechora fortress. To cover the ravine, which was located between Arsenalnaya street (modern name) and the Mariinsky Palace, as well as a water tower, it was decided to erect two retaining walls with internal galleries and loopholes. These fences were military fortifications of the fortress and formed a kind of defensive structure. It could easily accommodate a small garrison of troops. The retaining walls were erected in two stages. The first - the upper one - was built in 1853-1854. The second wall was built in 1856. It was a two-level gallery with loopholes, having a semicircular shape and covering access to the Chain Bridge and the Podolsky Gate (embankment). The underground passage, along which water pipes ran, connected both walls with Arsenalnaya Street. There were workshops with a water tower on the Dnieper.
Existence in the Soviet era
In the last twentieth century, at its very beginning, the Pechorathe fortress was turned into a warehouse and a water tower. In the post-war 1949, architect Vlasov was commissioned to build an entertainment center on the territory with a cinema hall, an amusement park and an open-air theater. After the Hydropark and Oktyabrsky Palace were opened, the Green Theater (Kiev) was undeservedly forgotten by the residents and guests of the city. The revival of the structure began in the early 80-ies of the last century. Wastewater drains and drainage wells were put in order. They reconstructed and fortified the walls with granite, built balconies for several hundred places. In our time, this complex is practically not used, much dilapidated, in places it collapsed. Occasionally, concerts are held there, but, in fact, the complex is consigned to oblivion.
