General information about Ivanova Mountain (Poltava)

Ivanova Mountain (Ivanova Hora) is the historical core of Poltava, the best scenic spot in the city. More than 11 centuries ago, the historic city of Ltava stood here on a high hill above the Vorskla River.

Later, an earthen Poltava fortress was built, which in the 18th century held back the advance of the Swedes for three months, until the army of Petro I approached. The wooden Podil tower (one of 15) was reconstructed, next to which it is planned to restore the Sentinel bastion of the Poltava fortress.

The panorama of the Vorskla Valley with the Exaltation of the Cross Monastery on the nearby hill opens from the White Arbor.

In 2006, a monument to the Poltava halushka, celebrated by writers, was erected near the Ivan Kotlyarevskyi museum and the Lileya restaurant.

Іванова гора - історичне ядро Полтави, найкращий видовий майданчик міста. На високому пагорбі над річкою Ворскла понад 11 століть тому тут стояв дитинець літописного міста Лтава.

Пізніше було збудовано земляну Полтавську фортецю, яка в ХVІІІ сторіччі три місяці стримувала наступ шведів, доки не підійшла армія Петра I. Реконструйовано дерев'яну Подільську вежу (одну з 15-ти), поряд з якою планують відновити Дозорний бастіон Полтавської фортеці.

Панорама долини Ворскли з Хрестовоздвиженським монастирем на сусідньому пагорбі відкривається з Білої альтанки.

В 2006 році біля музею Івана Котляревського та ресторану "Лілея" встановлено пам'ятник оспіваній письменниками Полтавській галушці.
