The town's verdant showpiece, complete with landscaping, fountains and mature trees, is a popular hang-out and a pleasant spot for an evening corso. Heading north you cannot fail to notice the neoclassical Shevchenko Theatre, one of the region's grandest neo-Classical edifices. The square in front, maydan Teatralny, is remarkable as it must be the only sizeable piazza in all Europe not to have a single cafe table or brewery-sponsored sun shade occupying its expanse.
