Sobornyi Avenue (Ukrainian: Соборний проспект, Sobornyi prospekt) is the central thoroughfare of the city of Zaporizhzhia. Sobornyi means Cathedral.

It starts from Pryvokzalna Square near the Zaporizhzhia-1 railway station and ends at Zaporizhzhia Square near the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station.[1] It runs along four city districts of Komunarskyi, Oleksandrivskyi, Voznesenivskyi and Dniprovskyi.

The avenue begins near the Zaporizhzhia-I railway station and ends at Zaporizhzhia Square near the Dniprovskaya HPP. Starting its way from Pryvokzalnaya Square, the avenue runs through the headquarters of ZAZ and exits after Transportnaya Square on a straight section (with a slight bend) for a length of approximately 9 km (5.6 mi). The total length of Sobornyi Avenue is 10.8 km (6.7 mi), due to which some sources claim that the avenue is the longest in Europe.[2][3] However, Soborny Avenue is surpassed in length by Heroiv Kharkova Avenue in Kharkiv 18 km (11 mi))[4] an Lenin Avenue in Volgograd (14 km (8.7 mi)).[5] The residential quarters of "Sotsmista" in the area of the Dnipro HPP dam and Metalurgiv Avenue are considered to be one of the best examples of constructivist architecture of the first half of the 20th century. The project of this architectural ensemble in 1932 received a gold medal at an exhibition in Paris.[6] Sobornyi Avenue claims the title of one of the "7 Wonders of Zaporizhzhia".[7]
