THE HEART OF OLD
LVIV
Walking the narrow paved streets
of Lviv, you come across the grey-haired Past everywhere. In the heart of old
Lviv there are plenty of houses, which are worth your attention. First of all,
it is the ensemble of the Rynok Square with the City Hall and 44 buildings, among
which there are the Blackstone Palace, the Venetian House and the marvelous Royal
Palace (today the History Museum) with its Italian Courtyard. You should not fail
to visit the Pharmacy Museum (2, Drukarska Str.) which was founded in 1735.
Here you can taste a healing ‘iron wine’ made according to the ancient recipe.
Teatralna Street leads to the
Theatre of Stanislav Skarbek (today Theatre named after M.Zankovetska) which is
built in the style of classicism. Nearby you can enjoy the view of the Jesuit
Cathedral (XVII century), Natural History Museum, People’s House (behind the
statues of Venus and Mars). Next to it lies the Ivan Pidcova Square with a
former Guard-House. Where Halytska Street crosses the Cathedral Square you will
admire an architectural pearl
of early XVII century – The Boims Chapel. The façade and interior will impress
you with filigree stone carving. Rynok Square is fringed with picturesque
little streets, each with its own peculiar atmosphere.
Lviv is a city of temples.
Over 80 beautiful domes and towers of sacral buildings dominate the panorama of
Lviv from the High Castle. The most fascinating ones are concentrated in the
city centre. Various styles and building traditions blend into the harmonious
mixture of Byzantine, Roman and Gothic as well as Renaissance, Baroque and
Classicism. The Lvivians always demonstrated ethnic and religious tolerance.
Different Christian churches co-exist in Lviv: Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Greek
Catholic, Protestant and Armenian. There are Synagogues for the Jewish
community.
THE CAPITAL OF
GALICIA
Next to the old city centre there
is another one, which was formed in XIX – beginning of XX century. It is built
mainly along the Shevchenko Avenue, the A. Mickiewicz Square and the Liberty Avenue.
The Lvivians like to go for a walk there. This part of the city is
unforgettably beautiful because of the houses built in the style of Art Nouveau
and Historism – the George Hotel, the Ethnographic Museum, the National Museum
and the others.
Liberty Avenue in the south
direction is crowned with the marvelous Opera House built in 1900, with a dense
sculptural painting décor and a well-known curtain “Parnasus” by H. Siemiradzki.
The imposing buildings of the new city centre were created in the “Austrian” epoch,
when Lviv, as ‘heart and mind’ of the autonomous Galicia was living through the
hectic technological development. Near the central avenues you can see other
exciting civil and dwelling houses. Potocki Palace looks as if it was
transferred here from the banks of the river Loire or Seine. The Copernicus
street leads to the classical buildings – the Library named after V. Stefanyk.
The Park named after Franko is
near the Central Post Office and the square in front of the park is occupied by
the solemn building of the National University (former Parliament of Galicia).
Your eye can catch the wonderful building of the Opera House, too.
Lviv is rich in valuable museum
collections with rare ancient objects, masterpieces of the Ukrainian and West
European fine arts, personal belongings of famous historic figures, ancient
icons and sculptures. The Lychakiv Cemetry is a museum in the open. It is a
preserve of memorial plastic art of late XVIII-XX centuries. Here lie the
bodies of many outstanding Lvivians – politicians, scholars and artists.
