There are also several restaurants, beaches and parks (Taras Shevchenko Park and Sevastopol Park).
  The major streets of the city were renamed in honour of Marxist heroes during the Soviet era. Following the 2015 law on decommunization these have been renamed.
  The central thoroughfare is known as Akademik Yavornytskyi Prospekt, a wide and long boulevard that stretches east to west through the centre of the city. It was founded in the 18th century and parts of its buildings are the actual decoration of the city. In the heart of the city is Soborna Square, which includes the Transfiguration Cathedral founded by order of Catherine the Great in 1787. On the square, there are some remarkable buildings: the Museum of History, Diorama "Battle of the Dnieper" (World War II).
  The Ukrposhta for the city was once housed at the Central Post Office, a 20th century building. Rising magnificently above the Dnieper, the building's tower has become one of the most identifiable features in the city.
