L'viv – the Ensemble of the Historic Centre
The city of L''viv, founded in the late Middle Ages, was a flourishing administrative, religious and commercial centre for several centuries. The medieval urban topography has been preserved virtually intact (in particular, there is evidence of the different ethnic communities who lived there), along with many fine Baroque and later buildings.

L'viv - the Ensemble of the Historic Centre represents a crossing point of cultures and architectural traditions. The trade routes in the Middle Ages attracted a number of etnic groups with different traditions:
Ukrainian, Armenian, German, Jewish, Polish, Italian and Austrian.
These groups lived in separate communities, and left their own religious and artistic marks on the city.
In comparison to other central and eastern European towns of medieval origin, L'viv survived very well (comparable to Cracow, but with a different road in history).
