L'viv. The city was founded in the first half of the 1250s by the
Halych-Volynian Prince Danylo who named it
after his son Lev. First mentions of L'viv in the Halych-Volynian chronicle date
back to 1256.
In the course of its centuries-old history the city passed through more than
thirty wars, sieges, fires and
was completely ravaged several times. Nevertheless, every time it rose from the
ashes retaining its unique appearance.
L'viv architecture fused whimsically styles of different epochs: Gothic and
Baroque, Empire and Renaissance.
St. Nicholas' Church, the oldest architectural monument of the same age as the
city, was a court church of
Halych-Volynian Princes. In the 16th c. the Dormition Brotherhood was organised
under the church. The activity
of the first-printer Ivan Fedorov is connected with this >>>>
