The modern Independence Square in Khmelnytskyi as a city square was formed in the mid-1950s during the construction of the House of Councils (now - the building of the Khmelnytskyi Regional State Administration). Until 1991, the square was called Lenin Square, but after the proclamation of Ukraine as an independent state, it became the Independence Square. On September 24, 2011, a monumental and sculptural composition “Faith. Hope. Love” was erected. The author of the work was a famous Ukrainian artist Mykola Mazur.
