Ukraine · 10th century
The City of Volodymyr is the name accepted in scholarship for the detinets (citadel) of Kyiv of the late 10th to the first half of the 13th century on the northern part of Starokyivska Hill, which took shape during the reign of Volodymyr the Great. It was part of the Upper Town, which, in addition to the detinets, consisted of the outer towns: the City of Yaroslav, the City of Iziaslav-Sviatopolk and Kopyriv Kinets.
