Freedom Square (Ukrainian: Майдан Свободи, romanized: Maidan Svobody) is the largest city square in Kharkiv, Ukraine and one of the largest in Europe. The square has two parts: round and rectangular. Three prominent Soviet-era landmarks surround the former section: Derzhprom, the House of Projects, and the House of Cooperation.
