Danylo Halytskyi Monument
The monument to the ancient Rus prince Danylo Halytskyi, the unifier of Western Ukrainian lands, was erected in the center of Ternopil in 2002.
In the middle of the 13th century, Danylo Halytskyi managed to unite in his hands the Galicia-Volyn state, which he inherited from his father Roman Mstyslavych, and in 1254 he became the first king of Rus. He was also the first Rus ruler who was able to defeat the troops of the Golden Horde. Under him, the spread of Western culture and the European type of state and administrative management began in Rus lands.
The author of the equestrian monument to Danylo Halytskyi is the sculptor Bohdan Rudy.
