It was built over 15 years up to 1760 and its exterior ornamentation is as rich as it gets.

Market Square heaves with locals, tourists and street performers and the amount to see on this one plaza is almost overwhelming: There are glorious townhouses on each side of the square, many from the Renaissance (especially o...

The age of the building is clear as soon as you cross the threshold as the ceiling is painted with imag...

Lviv has more than a hundred churches, but the Baroque Dominican Church to the east of Market Square should be a priority.

In medieval times the street was outside the city walls, while the Armenian community abided by its own laws and grew wealthy from trade with the east.
