Still part of Pechersk Lavra, this sensational monument deserves special attention as it’s one of Kiev’s emblems. The Great Lavra Bell Tower is an unmissable fixture on the city’s skyline and dwarfs the other monuments at Pechersk Lavra, climbing to just below 100 metres. At the time of its construction (1731-1745) it was the tallest free-standing bell tower in the world, and is composed of four tiers, each narrower than the last, culminating with a gilded dome. The style is Ukrainian Baroque, and while studying the three upper tiers architecture geeks will notice that the columns are Doric on the 2nd tier, Ionic on the 3rd and then Corinthian on the fourth. For a small fee you can go up for an all-encompassing view of Kiev, while the mighty bell tolls every quarter of the hour.

Amazing for sure. It’s worth the effort climbing up through fascinating wooden steps all the way to top. It has two levels. Topmost is where u see the bells. for best panorama shot can be had here. Must visit.

A must visit place once you entered the territory of Lavra! The views you get from there are worth climbing. I always take my tourists during my Awesome Kyiv tours around Pechersk - everybody is happy! So do not miss out. Also you have to pay entrance fee
