Foreword
Lviv is probably the most tourist friendly city in Ukraine! Here hospitality is not only a local tradition, but it is the main business of the whole city. The local authorities and inhabitants seem to go out of their way to make your stay in Lviv unforgettable. Lviv is a city with much to oer, a city of unique oldworld charm. It is the scene of an accident where East broadsided West, but left only a dent. With its remarkably preserved Renaissance architecture, gently bending streets and hidden ancient niches, Lviv is a Ukrainian city with a European soul. Known as the centre of Ukrainian art and culture, the city boasts many of the countrys brightest and best museums, art galleries and theatres. It is also Ukraines Mecca there are magnicent and inspiring churches and cathedrals on just about every corner. Although Lvivians have the reputation as church-goers, they havent forgotten how to party. Pubs, clubs, restaurants and coee houses are plentiful, and its usually a local whos stoking the celebration into the early morning hours. Lviv has had an enthralling and violent history. Founded by King Danylo of Galicia in honour of his son Lev in 1256, the city has had many rulers including Poland, Sweden, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The dubious Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939 granted control of Lviv to the Soviet Union. This occupation spurred numerous resistance movements in the 1940s and 50s including the much celebrated and controversial Ukrainian Insurgent Army. With the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, freedom was nally seized. Lviv continues to be a shining example of independence, and Ukraine owes much of its contemporary identity to the stream of patriotism which emanates from this radical western gem. Vitayemo u Lvovi! Welcome to Lviv!

Foreword
COVER STORy
Lviv In Your Pocket is proud to give its readers a brand new design. For this rst issue we have chosen a great photograph of Chorna Kamiyanytsia House on Rynok Square 4. For a long time this building has been one of the most recognizable symbols of the city, it is also one of the most important 16th century architectural monuments from the Late Renaissance period. The photo shows the middle of the building faade with the depiction of St Martin on his horse, cutting o part of his cloak for a beggar.

The UK newspaper The Independent recently published a list of the best 50 travel websites on the internet: inyourpocket.com was the third name on that list. This is what the newspaper had to say about us: Entertaining and honest (at times devastatingly so), the In Your Pocket city guides make their rivals seem tame by comparison. More than 100 European cities have been given the In Your Pocket treatment, and all the key content from the print editions has been collated on this well-organised and userfriendly website. It also includes a series of YouTube vignettes.

Arriving & Getting Around

By pLaNE
DaNYLO HaLYtsKYi LViV INteRNatiONaL AiRpORt When travellers referred to the Lviv International Airport it was usually in the context of either a twisted joke or a terrifying tale. Time changes; and in April 2012 Lviv got the newly renovated Terminal. All in glass and steel in 14km west of the city centre, Danylo Halytskyi Lviv International became much better and pleasant. Getting around the citys gateway will not take you any eorts, signs both in English and Ukrainian show the way and nothing here diers from most of ne European airports. Tourist information booth is located on the ground oor, with an information desk, customs, telephones, lost and found, car rental booths, rst aid, 24 hour police services, waiting rooms, ATMs and a currency exchange. There are cafs in both check-in and departing zones and airline ticketing booths can also be found in the terminal. Lost and found tel. (+380) 32 229 83 19. QLubynska 168, tel. (+380) 32 229 81 12, www.lwo.aero. W Getting to town Taxis stands outside the main entrance of the aiport. The 70-80Hr fare to centre is relatively cheap for Ukraine, but the real bargain is by trolleybus 9 (1,25Hr) or marshrutka 48 (2Hr). Its about 20 minutes by taxi and 40 minutes by trolleybus. trip to centre should cost around 30Hr and Lvivs cabbies are much friendlier and less scheming than those in other major Ukrainian cities. The parking lot beyond the cabbies is bustling with busses and mini-busses, most of which connect to outlaying cities, towns and villages. Your best public transport option is tram No. 1, which heads directly to centre. The same tram with a dierent name, No. 9, takes passengers in the opposite direction from centre to the train station.
By BUS
StRYisKYi AVtOVOKZaL All international buses arrive at Stryiskyi Avtovokzal; however, some buses, including routes from Warsaw and Krakow, may make a rst stop in centre not far from Shevchenka prosp. Ask your driver to be sure. At the bus station, ticket oces and schedules are located on the ground oor. Upstairs youll nd a waiting hall, a small hotel and a cafeteria. To nd the left-luggage oce, head downstairs from the central hall. QStryiska 109, tel. (+380) 32 294 98 17, www.bus.com. ua, Open 24hrs. Getting to town Stryiskyi Avtovokzal is located relatively far from the city centre. Taxis are your obvious quickest option; depending on your haggling skills, fares are available for as little as 50Hr. For an unbelievable value, take trolleybus No. 5 to Shota Rustaveli Street (I-4) for the meagre fare of 1,25Hr. Though it may be cramped, marshrutkas No. 7, 37, 57 and 71 shuttle passengers to centre for 2Hr. Bus No. 18 connects Stryiskyi Avtovokzal with Lviv Holovnyi Train Station.
By TRaiN
LViV HOLOVNYi TRaiN StatiON With platforms wrapped in lofty steel awnings, run down trains and suspicious glances, arriving to Lvivs central rail station can be like stepping into a Cold War era spy movie. Once the nostalgia has worn o, exit the platforms by proceeding down the stairs then follow the exit signs to the stations halls. A currency exchange ( ), ticketing booths () and schedules are located in the main hall. There is also a oor plan displayed of available services if you happen to get disoriented. Purchase international tickets from booth No. 2. (Quiet please, the street dogs huddled in the corner are trying to sleep.) Proceed through the corridor past hall No. 2 for a currency exchange and a news stand that sells maps of Lviv. There are three left luggage ( ) areas/lockers available in the right wing. No. 1 is the largest and is the only post that handles bags of all sizes. Depending on the size of your bag, expect to pay from 5-20Hr per day. Police services are also located in the right wing. Toilets are scattered throughout the building. The easiest to nd are located in the corridors leading to the platforms. QF-6, Dvirtseva pl. 1, tel. (+380) 32 748 20 68. Getting to town Getting from the station to centre is relatively easy. Taxis are abundant near the main exit. A gauntlet of taxi drivers await at the exit of the main hall. A 6 Lviv In Your Pocket
PUBLic TRaNSpORT
Almost all Lviv sights and places of interest are within easy walking distance for even the most unt and/or laziest of people. However there is a wide web of trolleybuses (electric buses), trams (streetcars), buses, microbuses and minivans, which sometimes (especially in rush hours) are overcrowded. Dont take the jostling personally, dont inhale too deeply but do give up your seat to the elderly and mothers with children. Trolleybuses and trams are favoured by schoolchildren, the working class and babushkas and dedushkas. They wont get you anywhere in a hurry, but they do provide an intriguing look into everyday Ukrainian life. Single tickets for trolleys, trams and buses can be purchased for 1.50Hr from conductors and the driver on board. You should immediately validate your ticket using one of the many punching gadgets around you. If not, you risk being intimidated into paying a ne. All tickets are good for one journey only. The privately-owned marshrutkas () or route taxis (usually yellow) stop at bus stops along specied routes. Many run the same routes as trolleys or trams and use the same numbers. Otherwise, try to read the main stops posted on the vehicles windshield or side window lviv.inyourpocket.com
Arriving & Getting Around

before it speeds by. Marshrutkas will denitely get you from A to B faster than other forms of municipal transport, as they are smaller and more manoeuvrable; an important feature on Lvivs narrow roads. Just ag it down as you would a taxi, then tell the driver na zupyntsi, budlaska (on the stop, please) when youve had enough. Fares are paid as you board and currently costs 2Hr.
BUyiNG TRaiN TicKETS

For the full Ukrainian experience, line up to buy a train ticket at one of ticket oces (kasy) at the train station. The sta does not speak English, so try to practice you Ukrainian/ Russian. It is a good idea to get know the train number in advance and write in on a piece of paper, together with the departure date and time. Dont bother to learn the Ukrainian alphabet, write down the destination city name in English as well as your name. You might be asked to provide a passport when boarding. Thanks to EURO2012 we nally have English almost everywhere. Visit booking.uz.gov.ua/ en/ for train schedule and ticket booking.

City Basics
CRimE aND SaFETy
They say that Ukrainians can spot a foreigner from a kilometre away. This fact alone will not automatically make you the target of crime. Lviv is, in fact, a rather safe place. As in most cities, ashing large amounts of cash can cause trouble. Wallets are known to disappear in public transport crowds, so guard your pockets at all times. Being very drunk and/or loud on the street is always a good way to attract unwanted attention, especially from the police. By the way, its a good idea for foreigners to carry at least a copy of their passport and visa with them at all times.
LViV, LVOV, LWW

Throughout its history, Lviv has had several names. The city was known as Lww when the Poles ruled, the Austro-Hungarian Empire called it Lemberg and Jewish residents referred to it as Lemberik. Currently, many languages have their own spelling and pronunciation. This is the case with Lviv (Ukrainian) and Lvov (Russian). As the city immerged to become the centre of Ukrainian language and culture in the 1990s, the Ukrainian version became increasingly common and useful, i.e. using Lviv while searching the Internet will denitely result in more hits..
CUSTOmS
If you are 18 years of age or over you can import, free of customs duties and taxes, one litre of hard alcohol, two litres of wine, 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco. Personal belongings are not subject to customs duties or taxes, though a customs ocer has the right to ask you to make a written declaration in relation to them. A person can bring in food products free of customs duties and taxes if their total value does not exceed 200. However, food products should not total more than two kilogrammes, and there should not be more than one package of the same product. Goods with a total value of less than 1000 may be brought in free of customs duties and taxes. If the value of your goods is greater than 1000, but less than 10000 they will need to be declared on a customs personal declaration form and you should pay 10% duty plus 20% VAT. If the value of the goods is greater than 10000, the goods will be subject to clearance in accordance with the import declaration requirements for imported cargo. Cultural goods may be brought in if they are not subject to any international alert and you have documents which prove your right of ownership. To take such goods out of Ukraine you will need to obtain relevant authorisation documents from the State Service for Control Over the Passage of Cultural Values Across the National Frontier of Ukraine (J-3, Smolskoho 10, tel. (+380) 322 75 80 81/72 79 91.) All customs declarations, lled out upon arrival to Ukraine, must be kept throughout the period of your stay, and must be handed over upon departure. This declaration can not be renewed if lost.

MONEy
The national currency is the hryvnia (Hr), which replaced the transitional karbovanets on September 2, 1996. Dont be confused if your amount is given in roubles. You havent been transported to Russia or taken back in time to the USSR - some people just have trouble letting go of the past! Paper bills carry denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, 200 and 500 hryvnias. There are 100 kopecks in a hryvnia, with 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 kopeck and 1Hr coins. Youll have no problem nding currency exchange points, but rates are better from central street kiosks. If its travellers checks you need to cash, look for a big respectable-looking bank. You can nd a number of ATMs around Lviv and many hotels and restaurants now take Visa and MasterCard - American Express is not very popular. There have been scattered reports of credit card fraud in upscale restaurants, though, so you may want to think twice before charging it. lviv.inyourpocket.com
DRiNKiNG
Ukrainian beer (pyvo) is quite tasty and extremely cheap to boot. Tipsiness may set in early, though, as its alcohol content is higher than Western brands. Those preferring foreign brands can nd their favourites at ner shops and establishments. Ukraine also produces a wide selection of vodka, which ows freely at many parties and gatherings. Beware if oered homemade vodka (samohon). While good samohon can be better than some bootleg labels in shops, the overall odds are against you and your stomach. Whether its Ukrainian vodka or moonshine, be ready to oer a toast at some point. A modest cheers (budmo) will do for a foreigner. 8 Lviv In Your Pocket

SmOKiNG
Youre never too far away from a lit cigarette in Ukraine, and in some bars and clubs the term second-hand smoke just doesnt seem to matter. Smokers enjoy a ridiculously cheap selection of cigarettes hawked by one of the many babushkas and corner kiosks that are located throughout the city. But a new more rigorous law on smoking prohibition takes eect nationwide on December 16, 2012. It sets a total ban on smoking in restaurants, bars, clubs and cafes (except open terraces), cultural, medical, educational and sport institutions (including playgrounds and stadiums), public transport (including stops), underpasses (subways), and inside apartment buildings (including stairs and lifts). All other premises and buildings (including hotels, hostels, airports, railway terminals) should have designated smoking areas equipped with exhaust ventilation. The law also sets nes from 5110,000Hr for anyone breaking the law.

All foreign visitors, with the exception of citizens from selected countries of the CIS, must obtain a visa. Upon arrival, you will need to ll in an immigration card. If you are staying more that 72 hours, you will need to register with the local police (hotels are usually willing to aid in this process). Transit visas are also required.

Bukovel
THE BESt UKRAINIAN SKI RESORt
Bukovel
Located in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, 30km west of Yaremche Bukovel is Ukraines largest ski resort. With high-speed chair lifts, meticulously groomed slopes, snow-making machines and ubiquitous security personnel, it is also Ukraines rst European-class resort. Indeed, its rather unusual to see this degree of organisation in Ukraine. Bukovel has been carefully planned to make skiing enjoyable and convenient - queues longer than ve minutes are rare. This mountain is booming! Over the next few seasons Bukovel plans to have 278km of trails and 35 lifts, which would make it one of the 20 largest ski resorts in the world. At the start of this season, 16 lifts and 50km of runs were available. Check out their website for more information including current snow conditions. dren and super-beginners, all levels of intermediate runs and several black diamond runs for experts and the idiotic brave. Night skiing is available from 17:00 - 20:00; however, only one upper intermediate slope is currently equipped with lights. For more information check out the trail map at bukovel.com/en/map. Blue indicates beginner slopes, red are intermediate and black are advanced.
SKi RENTaL
Five rental shops are at your service and are located near lower lifts No. 1, 2, 5 and 7. These centres are also equipped with storage rooms, lockers, showers, bathrooms and skiservice centres (open 08:45 - 17:00). All skis are relatively new, in excellent condition and rent from 80-260Hr. Snowboard sets go for 80-140Hr. As collateral you must leave a passport, drivers license or a deposit of 2500-9000Hr. Snowmobiles are also available for rent.
GETTiNG THERE
From Kyiv and Lviv, the trains can take you to IvanoFrankivsk. From Ivano-Frankivsk you can go by taxi, bus or marshrutka (110km). If you drive (not recommended), its best to travel via Ivano-Frankivsk. Then proceed through the towns of Nadvirna and Yaremche, then through the villages of Mykulychyn, Tatariv and Polyanytsya. Follow the signs to Bukovel. Free parking is available.
LiFT paSSES
Prices at Bukovel are considerably higher than elsewhere in Ukraine. One lift ride costs 35-40Hr. Passes can be bought for 3 hours, full-day, several days or the entire season. Fullday passes (good for all lifts) cost 336-396Hr. The popular 5 days ride pass costs 1132Hr and 1524Hr for the holiday season. Almost all of the lifts are chair lifts and a few are tows. Lift passes can be purchased in several places around the base of the mountain. More details on www.bukovel.com/en

MasOch Caf This titillating theme place is dedicated to writer and original freak Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masoch who was born in Lviv in 1836.

EDiTORS NOTE
Lvivs clubs attract a diverse crowd, and you should be able to blend in quite easily. The great thing about partying in Eastern Europe is that the locals are arguably more awkward on the dance oor than we are in the west, so shrug o you inhibitions and convulse to the beat. Warning: Locals are overtly friendly and often invite foreigners to party at their table. Weve learned from repeated experience that its impossible for a westerner to keep pace with locals when it comes to shooting horilka (vodka). Slow and steady wins the horilka race.

The city arsenal and its adjoining defensive walls are visible from Arsenal street. Construction on the original two-storied stone building began in the 14th century, but was not completed until 1555. After nearly two centuries of toil this original structure was completely destroyed by re after only 16 years of operation, and the contemporary building was constructed in its place from 1574-75. When the Swedes invaded in 1704 the arsenal took a beating, but all holes were patched within two years. In the 18th and 19th centuries the arsenal was refortied and lost some of its original form. Most recently, two of the upper oors were restored and now house a museum. Parts of the exterior have been excavated in order to reveal original walls, windows and roof. The swords forged in Lviv gained the reputation as some of the best in Europe. In the 18th Century the arsenal was also used as a prison. QD-4, Pidvalna 5, tel. (+380) 32 235 86 61.

The rst city hall was established on Rynok ploscha (Market Square) in the middle of the 14th century. Constructed of wood, it was levelled by re in 1381. A new hall was erected in the early 15th century. The contemporary building is a conglomeration of the 15th century structure and three major expansions. The stone tower that hovers above the hall is the second of its kind. The original was erected in 1619, but by the beginning of the 19th century was deemed unstable and demolished. The 65 meter high replacement is a replica of the original. Pace yourselves, its 306 steps up to the viewing platform.

JaN III SObiesKi PaLace (PaLats KORNjaKta)
This is a unique monument of the Renaissance period, one of only a few existing in Ukraine, and is the largest structure on Rynok Square. Until the late 16th century the area on which the palace stands was occupied by two smaller buildings, which were purchased by a Greek merchant named Constantine Kornjakt. He subsequently ordered the reconstruction of the two houses into a new grandiose edice. Fragments of the older structures have been preserved and include the Gothic hall (an unmatched sample of Lvivs Gothic inuence) and the cross-sectional support beams that hold the third oor ceiling. Following Kornjakts death, the house was taken over Jakub Sobieski, the father of the future Polish king Jan III. The Polish-Russian Eternal Peace Treaty (anything with a name this lofty deserves to fail) was signed at the palace in 1686. Since 1908 the building has housed a museum. One of the brightest expositions of any of the citys museums, the Royal Chambers, can be found here. The palaces Italian Yard is a Lvivian favourite and is not to be missed. QC-3, Rynok pl. 6.

Many European theatres can boast an extraordinary construction history, but Lvivs opera house is unique in that it is built on top of a river. The Poltva river ows beneath the stage and continues through centre deep beneath the asphalt (no doubt a contributor to the many sinkholes that tend to startle foreign visitors). The project was put up for tender and many top European architects tossed in their bids. It was Polish architect Zygmunt Gorgolewski designer of Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge in Berlin, the Gemldegalerie in Dresden and the Vienna State Opera - who proposed the radical and intriguing idea of burying the small river beneath the opera. His plans also included the use of a concrete foundation, a rst for Europe. With optimistic trepidation, the city planners agreed and the Opera House was completed in 1900. The building began to sink right away, but settled in the decades that followed.

St. GeORge CathedRaL (SObOR SViatOhO YURa) The AssUmptiON ChURch (UspeNsKa TseRKVa) This vibrant example of Renaissance architecture has served as the centre of the Orthodox Christian faith for centuries. In the middle of the 16th century, the Assumption Brotherhood was founded here along with a printing press and a school. The church has experienced many episodes of ruin and reconstruction. The rst Assumption Church was constructed of wood in 1344, but was destroyed by re during an attack on Lviv by Polish feudal lords in 1350. The second church was built of stone in 1421 and experienced a relatively peaceful existence until it too was levelled by the great re of 1527. (With the exception of City Hall and one other structure, the re of 1527 devoured the entire city.) The replacement was completed in 1559 and, you guessed it, was completely destroyed by re in 1571. The danger posed by re was apparently driven home and the cathedral constructed in 1591 has survived until the present. Also located on the premises are Kornjakts Tower and the Chapel of Three Prelates.QB-3, Ruska 7.
This Greek Catholic cathedral, constructed in 1744-1761, is a remarkable example of Rococo architecture. Located at the height of St. George Mount, the cathedral dominates the surrounding area, but doesnt clash with the landscape. The main faade is set-o by a portal watched over by St. Athanasius and St. Leo (works by renowned sculptor Johann Georg Pinzel). In the cathedral itself, there lies a crypt where celebrated gures of the Ukrainian church are entombed. A park is nestled behind the palace and features a distinctive bell tower, which houses a remarkable bell. Cast in 1341, it is the oldest bell in Ukraine. The cathedral grounds are extremely calming and its hard to imagine that hard times once prevailed. Following the death of metropolitan Andrei Sheptytsky in March 1946, Soviet authorities coerced church leaders to denounce Rome and join the Russian Orthodox Church. Justice prevailed in 1989 as the Greek Catholic Church re-established itself and resumed operation of the cathedral. The last major event to take place at St. George happened 2001. While visiting Lviv, Pope John Paul II lived in the Metropolitans Palace.QG-3, Svyatoho Yura pl. 5. The ARmeNiaN CathedRaL (ViRmeNsKYi SObOR)
The history of Lviv is a tapestry woven by more than 100 nationalities. Armenians began inhabiting the city in the 14th century and quickly established their own quarter complete with a small cathedral completed in 1370. This original building perished in the re of 1527. The structure that stands today blends a few architectural styles including Old Russian, Gothic and Armenian. The original bell tower was erected in 1571, but was later toppled by the Turks during a siege. The 19th century version of the bell tower is a restoration of the original. The courtyard provides a tranquil setting for the decorative column and gure of St. Christopher. The neighbouring buildings are those of a former Armenian bank, established in the 17th century, and Lvivs oldest pawnshop.QC-3, Virmenska 7. facebook.com/LvivInYourPocket
The BeRNaRdiNe CathedRaL aNd MONasteRY This is one of the most inspiring sites in Lviv. The area around which the monastery stands has evolved over the years, but the monastery itself remains as architect Pavlo Rimlyanin envisioned. Constructed in the 17th century, the cathedrals faade is protected by statues of the sacred order of Bernardine and the niches of the second tier hold images of Mary, Jesus and apostles Peter and Andrew. Be respectful, of course, but dont be afraid to drop in on a prayer session. The cathedrals magnicent interior is stirring. Originally located outside the city walls, the monastery had its own defences. A section of the original protective wall remains and can be viewed from Pidvalna street. The impressive column that stands before the cathedral supports a sculpture of St. Jan and was constructed in 1736. Much speculation exists concerning controversial events that have taken place within the monastery and its cells. One of the more famous cases concerns a letter missive (sanction of trade) addressed to Dracula.QD-5, Soborna pl. 1-3.

The ChapeL Of the BOims (KapLYtsia BOimiV) The LatiN CathedRaL (LatYNsKYi SObOR) This is a spectacular example of ancient Lvivs Gothic inuence. Ocially known as the Archcathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, its understandable why most just call it the Latin. Constructed in 1360, a relic was incorporated into the rst foundation stone by King Kazimir the Great. Both the interior and exterior have evolved throughout the centuries, but the sanctuary and altar have remained unchanged. The cathedral was severely damaged in the re of 1527. During its restoration in the 18th century, Baroque forms replace those of the Gothic era. The marvellous stained glass windows were incorporated at the end of the 19th century. A cemetery once existed on and around what is now Katedralna ploscha (Cathedral Square). In 1765 all burials were relocated and further burials forbidden. The cemeterys chapel, the Chapel of the Boim Family, remains on the site and is a protected historical monument. Pope John Paul II attended mass here on June 26th, 2001.QC-4, Katedralna pl. 1.
Constructed in the early 17th century on the grounds of what was a city cemetery; this quaint structure was originally intended for use as a crypt by the Boim family. George Boim, a Lviv merchant and moneylender of Hungarian origin, started the project and his son, Paul-George, put the nishing touches on what would become a permanent feature in Lvivs stunning centre. The side of the chapel is decorated with fretwork that gives the impression that the entire structure has been turned inside-out. Fresco portraits of George Boim and his wife Jadwiga can be viewed from Halytska vul. The site has been protected by UNESCO since the 1970s.QC-4, Katedralna pl. 1, tel. (+380) 32 274 40 47.

The DOmiNicaN CathedRaL (DOmiNicaNsKYi SObOR) The foundation of the Dominican Monastery dates back to the second half of the 13th century when Constance, the wife of Lev I of Galicia, commissioned the construction of a small wooden church in gratitude for the generosity of the local Dominican monks. Eventually destroyed by re in 1408, a Gothic-era stone church was constructed in its place. The monastery, which could accommodate more than 100 monks, experienced its heyday beginning in 1612 when it become the central monastery of the Eastern European Dominican Order. In 1742 cracks were detected in the cathedrals arch. An emergency meeting was convened and all rescue options were exhausted. Demolition commenced in 1749. Construction on the new cathedral, designed by architect Jan de Witte, began shortly after.
The St. PeteR aNd PaUL ChURch Of the JesUit ORdeR (KOstiOL JeZUitiV) Located with its back turned to Svobody prosp. and the monument of aras Shevchenko, this is considered one of the more mystical places in Lviv. Much like the Jesuits themselves, the structure is meant to be kept an enigma and random tourists will nd it dicult to gain full access. The church was constructed in the beginning of the 17th century and is modelled after the classic Church of the Ges in Rome. The size of the church is impressive: 41metres long, 26 metres high and 22.5 metres wide. Lvivs founding Jesuits are historically characterized as aggressive missionaries who quickly established a devout following. The sect was also known for its savvy in the area of property development. When they rst settled in Lviv in the 16th century they possessed absolutely no property. When Austria ordered the abolition of the Jesuits 1848, the Lviv brotherhood owned property worth up to one million thalers (big bucks for that time). A section of the premises is currently occupied
The bell tower was constructed in 1865. During the Soviet era the site was used as a regional archive and as a school for would be printing workers. After restoration in 1972 the Dominican Monastery opened as a museum dedicated to the history of religion and atheism; the atheists have since left the building. Religious services have also resumed.

Arriving in a city for the rst time, most sane travellers dont head straight for the local cemetery. But Lviv is unique in many ways, and one of the citys most distinctive, beautiful and historic locales is the Lychakivske Cemetery. Believe it or not, this is an ideal location to begin your exploration of Lvivs diverse history, fascinating culture and stunning art: what Pre Lachaise is to Paris, Lychakivske is to Lviv. Ocially established in 1786 by Austro-Hungarian authorities, the rst burials actually took place in the 16th century. Since then, more than 400,000 inhabitants have been laid to rest beneath these hallowed and enigmatic grounds. Grave markers hold mournful tributes inscribed in Ukrainian, Russian, German, Polish, Armenian and Latin - evidence of the citys diversity and turbulent past. Throughout the 19th century, plots were reserved by elite and middleclass families, artisans, scientists, spiritual leaders and politicians. For obvious reasons, this trend shifted during the Soviet era, and resulted in a fascinating contrast: wedged between ancient chapels and elite family crypts stand simple monuments, tributes to departed communists. Communal graves of soldiers and freedom ghters can also be found. The most renowned is the grave of the Lww Eaglets. The Eaglets were Polish child soldiers who defended Lviv during the Polish-Ukrainian War (1918-1919). Lviv was ultimately seized by the Soviet Union in 1939; the grave was desecrated and turned into a dump in 1971. Despite opposition by Ukrainian nationalists, the site was restored and reopened in 2005. Lychakivske is a protected historical monument. This is a much deserved designation, as it rivals many of Europes ancient necropolises in not only size, but in the beauty of its sculptures. Visitors are often stopped in their tracks by the remarkable statue of an angle gazing sadly towards heaven. Grief, strength and sacrice are the dominant themes represented in these gripping monuments. Plan on spending at least a few hours if you hope to see them all, and for those with time limitations the sculptures located at the graves of Armenian Archbishop Samuel Stefanowicz, Dr. Jzef Torosewicz and actress Regina Markovsky (Sleeping Beauty) are not to be missed.QK-4, Mechnykova 33, tel.
