In 1908-1909 on the occasion of 200 years of the Battle of Poltava there was built Belaya Besedka. It is an original monument – eight columns, erected in the form of semi-circumference, support the laced coronal looking like horseshoe at the top.
The monastery was established in 1650 on the riverside of Vorskla at the expense of commoners in memory of the first victories of hetman of the Zaporizhian Host Bohdan Mykhailovych Khmelnytsky over the Polacks near Zhovti Vody and Pyliavtsi in 1648 (nowadays the village Pyliava of Starosiniavsky District of Khmelnitsky Region).
The city of Poltava is favourably endowed with the samples of architecture and monuments. The majority of monuments are connected with the victory of Russian army over the Swedes. The main area of unique interest of Poltava and Central Square of the city is the Monument of Glory.
