Top Things to Do in Lviv "Top Things To Do in Lviv" Ukraine’s cultural and architectural hub, Lviv’s UNESCO designation has made it a popular travel destination in recent times. Idyllic and charming, it impresses visitors with its lively cafe culture, its picture-perfect squares and ornate religious buildings. Gecreëerd door : Cityseeker 10 Locaties in uw favorieten Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet "Stunning Renaissance Style Theater" Located in the heart of Lviv, the Theatre of Opera and Ballet is a cultural and historic attraction dating back to 1897. The building of the theater is an architectural wonder in itself with its renaissance and baroque style facade decorated with majestic sculptures of Glory and the Gods of drama, art and music. It is considered to be one of the most respected by Oleksandr Samoylyk Opera and ballet houses in the country and stages masterful concerts, plays and ballet performances. Staged on an epic hall, the theater is a must visit for all culture and art enthusiasts. +380 3 2255 4960 opera.lviv.ua/ [email protected] Svobody Avenue 28, Lviv Potocki Palace "Beautiful Historical Palace" Traces of nobility and an enduring greatness of a bygone time linger in the corners of the stately Potocki Palace. Splashed with grandeur, this 19th-century palace reflects the very characteristics of luxury and power that the Potocki family stood for. The original palace, a vision of Classicist austerity, was replaced by this structure of Baroque finesse. Set on formal, by Andrey Okhrimets landscaped gardens, this sprawling palace's ornate doors give way to a kaleidoscope of rooms and parlors that reflect its aristocratic ethos, from red-themed dancing halls and the Mirror Hall, to the vivid Blue Hall. Under the Soviet Regime, it became a wedding reception building and today is one of the country's presidential residences. lviv.travel/en/places/attractions/palats-pototskikh Kopernyka Street 15, Lviv Lviv High Castle "Scenic Vantage Point" Once the military stronghold of the Ukrainian city of Lviv, the High Castle is characterized by a series of ruins and landscaped attractions today. Today, the High Castle soars above the city's quaint landscape, separated by two terraces that offer distinct experiences. Originally a fortress hewn from wood, the castle was built by Daniel of Galicia sometime during the by User:VargaA 13th Century. Nearly a century later, King Casimir III replaced it with a stone castle, replete with quadruple towers. After being captured by Cossack military forces in the 17th Century, the castle fell into a state of disrepair. The beginning of the 19th Century announced a wave of revival, when the erstwhile castle site was refurbished to reveal a stately park, replete with historical attractions and panoramic city vistas. Vysokyi Zamok Street, Lviv St. George's Cathedral "Stunning Historical Cathedral" This soaring ivory-and-pearl landmark sits high above the city atop a hill, a unique architectural landmark that blends baroque and rococo styles. Now a center of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), St. George's Cathedral began its early days as a humble wooden church under the aegis of Lev Danylovych. As a new reign helmed by King by Ryzhkov Sergey Casimir III began, it was destroyed and replaced by a Byzantine basilica. After several centuries, the church was rebuilt in its current style by architect Bernard Meretyn. Meretyn, along with sculptor Johann Georg Pinsel, weaved in a tracery of architectural elements and evocative details into the cathedral's pale form, enduring aspects that still invite intrigue. Prominent among these include the twin figurines of Pope Saint Leo I and St. Athanasius of Alexandria, under whose watchful eyes the church thrives today. While the cathedral evokes awe with its detailed architectural finesse, it is also memorable for having hosted Pope John Paul II in the baroque Metropolitan Palace located opposite the cathedral building. lviv.travel/en/places/attractions/cobor-sviatogo-iura Ozarkevycha Street, Lviv Lychakiv Cemetery "Historic Cemetery" Located in the city of Lviv, the Lychakiv Cemetery is a famous historic attraction where visitors come to pay their respects to the Ukrainian National Army soldiers and others who died in the Polish-Ukrainian and Polish-Soviet war. Created in 1787, it spread over a vast area of 40 hectares (98.84 acres) with more than 300,000 graves. Many famous by Lestat (Jan Mehlich) mathematicians, writers, political figures, musicians, scientists and scholars from Ukraine and Poland are buried here. +380 3 2275 5415 Mechnykova Street 33, Lviv Lviv National Art Gallery "Stunning Art Museum" Considered as one of the best art museums in the country, the Lviv National Art Gallery is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. It is home to an astounding 60,000 pieces of artwork from countries like Poland, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Austria and other European countries. The variety exists in time periods as well with by Lestat (Jan Mehlich) paintings dating back to the 14th century The gallery came into being when all private property was nationalized which resulted in works being acquired by noble families, libraries, Polish private collectors and the Roman catholic church. lvivgallery.org.ua/ [email protected] Ulitsa Stefanika 3, Lviv Mickiewicz Square "Stunning Historic Square" Located in the very heart of Lviv, the Mickiewicz Square is popular among tourists for its historic significance and architectural monuments. Named after Polish-Lithuanian poet Adam Mickiewicz, it was created in the 19th Century and was formerly in the country of Poland but was annexed after World War II. The Adam Mickiewicz Column, Sprecher's Tenement House by GeoO and Monument to St Mary are some of its main attractions. Svobody Avenue, Lviv Dominican Church "Beautiful Historic Church" Located in the heart of Lviv, the Dominican Church is a beautiful historical landmark and architectural monument dating back to 1749. It is built on the site of a previous church which was destroyed by numerous fires. The present day church features remarkable Baroque architecture with equally impressive interiors adorned with beautiful sculptures and ornaments. by Yevhen1971 lviv.travel/en/places/attractions/dominikanskii-sobor Muzeina Square 1, Lviv The Andrey Sheptytsky National Museum in Lviv "Celebration of Ukranian Culture" Located in the heart of the city, The Andrey Sheptytsky National Museum in Lviv is a popular attraction with its vast and rich displays on Ukrainian culture. Originally established as Lwow Ecclesiastical Museum in 1905, it by Haidamac at Ukrainian is today home to thousands of artifacts including artworks, icons, Wikipedia sculptures, rare manuscripts, printings and publications. It is today housed in the ornate Dunikowski Palace which itself is an architectural marvel.

  • The Jewel in the Emerald Necklace of the City of Lviv
    HALYNA PETRYSHYN*, OLHA KRYVORUCHKO**, HALYNA LUKASHCHUK*, STEPAN TUPIS’* THE PARK IN ST. YURI (ST. GEORGE) SQUARE – THE JEWEL IN THE EMERALD NECKLACE OF THE CITY OF LVIV SKWER NA PLACU ŚW. JURY – KLEJNOT W SZMARAGDOWYM NASZYJNIKU LWOWA Abstract The most valuable parks in Lviv were designed by the famous city gardener Arnold Röhring, who managed to combine in the art of landscape design the different styles of the turn of 20th century. If the large parks of the city are under state protection, the smaller ones designed as public gardens, boulevards, gardens near the villas are constantly being rebuilt and destroyed. The results of the study of the park in St. Yuri Square in Lviv give grounds for considering this park an authentic monument of landscape art of the end of the 19th century, where its compositional structure and state of rare old-growth species of trees and shrubs are well preserved. Keywords: Lviv parks, landscape design, public gardens, Arnold Röhring Streszczenie Najcenniejsze parki we Lwowie zostały zaprojektowane przez słynnego ogrodnika miejskiego Arnol- da Röhringa, któremu udało się połączyć w sztuce projektowania krajobrazu różne style przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Jeśli duże parki miasta są pod ochroną państwa, mniejsze, zaprojektowane jako ogrody pu- bliczne, skwery, bulwary, ogrody w pobliżu willi, stale są przebudowane i niszczone. Badania skweru na placu św. Jury we Lwowie dają podstawy do uznania go autentycznym zabytkiem sztuki krajobrazowej z końca XIX wieku, w którym struktura kompozycyjna i stan starodrzewu rzadkich gatunków są dobrze zachowane. Słowa kluczowe: parki Lwowa, projektowanie krajobrazu, ogrody publiczne, Arnold Röhring DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.15.150.4187 ∗ Prof.

  • Appendices I
    Appendices I. Archival Sources Archival research for this monograph was conducted in Lviv, the former capital of Galicia, in 1983. To orient myself in the rich archival holdings of this city, I benefitted from the unpublished manuscript of Patricia K. Grimsted's forthcoming guide to Soviet Ukrainian archives and manuscript repositories' as well as from a number of published works.' Plans to use archives in Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk were frustrated, as was the plan to use the manuscript collection of the Institute of Literature of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (in Kiev). Work in the Austrian archives in 1982 did not uncover sources of direct relevance to the subject of this monograph, but the Viennese archives remain an important and little-explored repository of historical documentation on Galician history. The richest collection of unpublished sources on the history of Galicia during the Austrian period is located in the Central State Historical Archives of the Ukrainian SSR in Lviv (U Tsentrainyi derzhavnyi istorychnyi arkhiv URSR u rn. Lvovi; abbre- viated as TsDIAL). The Central Archives have inherited the papers of various Galician government institutions and major civic organizations. Unfortunately, there is no published guide to these archives, although a number of articles describe aspects of their holdings.' The papers of the Presidium of the Galician Viceroy's Office (U Haiytske narnisnytstvo, rn. Lviv. Prezydiia) are contained in TsDIAL, fond 146, opysy 4-8 (and presumably others). Particularly valuable for this study were documents dealing with the publication and confiscation of political brochures and periodicals, including , Patricia K.

  • Sacred Elements in Historical Western Ukrainian Oikonymy
    DOI: 10.308161ICONN412017155 Sacred elements in historical Western Ukrainian oikonymy Yaroslav Redkva Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Ukraine Abstract: The place of sacred toponymy is determined by the important role of religion in society. Therefore, sacred interests are at the centre of a person’s atten- tion, as they constitute a reflection in his/her consciousness of deep mental fea- tures rooted in the genesis of any nation. In accounting for a system of developmental factors and geographical and spatial organisation of territorial toponymic systems, the detection and establishment of regularities in their formation and functioning is impossible without establishing the origin of historical names of settlements, a considerable part of which are oik- onyms whose etymology contains a significant sacred element. Sacred names of places of the former Ruske Woyewodstwo (in the fourteenth to twenty-first centuries) are analysed in this paper. At present, the area is a territory comprising modern Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil Oblasts (Western Ukraine), in particular, Богородичин/Bohorodychyn, Богородчани/ Bohorodchany, *Вознесіння/*Voznesinnia, Воскресинці/Voskresyntsi, Спас/ Spas, Троїця/Troitsia, Хвалибога/Khvalyboha. It has been established as a basis of etymological analysis that place names in the aforementioned area make up a particular onomastic (oikonymic) field, united by the meaning of sacredness. They hold an important place in the religious world model of Ukrainians despite unjustified ideological attempts to forcefully rename them in the Soviet period. Keywords: anthroponym, oikonym, sacred place name, toponymic systems, ono- mastic field. In any society the religious sphere carries out major spiritual and cultural func- tions. It encompasses practising different cults (prayer, rites, and holidays) that take place in different cult buildings (churches, monasteries, religious communities, etc.).

  • St. John's Cathedral Wrocław
    St. John’s Cathedral Wrocław The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Wrocław, (Polish: Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela, German: Breslauer Dom, Kathedrale St. Johannes des Täufers), is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław and a landmark of the city of Wrocław in Poland. The cathedral, located in the Ostrów Tumski district, is a Gothic church with Neo-Gothic additions. The current standing cathedral is the fourth church to have been built on the site. The cathedral was almost entirely destroyed (about 70% of the construction) during the Siege of Breslau and heavy bombing by the Red Army in the last days of World War II. Parts of the interior fittings were saved and are now on display at the National Museum in Warsaw. The initial reconstruction of the church lasted until 1951, when it was reconsecrated by Archbishop Stefan Wyszyński. In the following years, additional aspects were rebuilt and renovated. The original, conical shape of the towers was restored only in 1991. Wroclaw Town Hall The Old Town Hall (Polish: Stary Ratusz) of Wroclaw stands at the center of the city’s Market Square (rynek). Wroclaw is the largest city in western Poland and isthe site of many beautiful buildings. The Old Town Hall's long history reflects the developments that have taken place in the city over time since its initial construction. The town hall serves the city of Wroclaw and is used for civic and cultural events such as concerts held in its Great Hall. In addition to a concert hall, it houses a museum and a basement restaurant.

  • Gezmek Bir Zamanlar Insan Ve Evren Arasında Var Olan Uyumu Tekrar Kurar.’’ Anatole France
    ‘’Gezmek bir zamanlar insan ve evren arasında var olan uyumu tekrar kurar.’’ Anatole France LVİV GEZİ REHBERİ; Lviv, Ukrayna'nın batısında, Polonya’ya 70 kilometre uzaklıkta bulunan bir şehir. Toplamda 860.000 kişilik nüfusunun %88'i Ukraynalı, %8'i Rus, %1'i de Polonyalı. Galiçya Kralı Daniel önderliğinde 13. yüzyılda kurulan şehir, adını ise Daniel'in en büyük oğlu olan Leo'dan almış ve bu sayede şehrin simgesi de aslan olmuş. Zaten Lviv Ukrayna dilinde de kelime anlamı olarak aslan demek. Şehrin birçok noktasında ve Lviv ambleminde de aslan figürüne rastlamanız mümkün. 14. Yüzyılda Polonya hakimiyetine geçen Lviv, 1772 yılında Habsburg Hanedanlığı tarafından ele geçirilmiş ve adı Lemberg olarak değiştirilmiş. 1918 yılında Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatorluğu’nun çökmesi ile yeniden Polonya hâkimiyetine girmiş ve 2. Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra Kızıl Ordu’nun müdahalesi ile Sovyetler Birliği'ne katılmış. 1991'de ise bağımsızlığının ardından Ukrayna'ya bağlı bir şehir haline gelmiş. II. Kasimir’in emriyle kurulan Lviv Üniversitesi ve Natsyonal'niy Unyversitet olmak üzere iki yüksek eğitim kurumuna ayrıca filarmoni orkestrasına ve dünyaca ünlü bir opera binasına sahip. Rynok Square adı verilen tarihi şehir merkezi, UNESCO tarafından Dünya Kültür Mirası Listesi'ne alınmış. Galiçya bölgesinin merkezi olma özelliğini taşıyan Lviv, tarihi yapısını 2. Dünya Savaşı'nda da korumayı başarmış. Nazi Almanyası döneminde işgale uğrayan şehirdeki Yahudilerin neredeyse tamamı katledilmiş. Bir günde 4000 kişinin öldürüldüğü bu katliamın izlerini günümüzde dahi görebilmek mümkün. 2000li yıllarından başından itibaren artık tam anlamı ile yaralarını sarmayı başaran ve gelişimini tamamlayan Lviv, günümüzde ülkenin en fazla turist çeken şehri olma unvanına sahip. Yılın her dönemi adeta turist akınına uğruyor ve ekonomik anlamda ülkeye önemli ölçüde katkı sağlıyor.
