Sometimes
there’s just something about a city that makes you fall in love with it. This
was the case with Lviv!
I
loved walking around this Ukrainian city and seeing its faded beauty in the
historic buildings dating from the 1700s-early 1900s. I wanted to take pictures
of all the interesting architectural elements – doorways, windows and rooftops.
I was enchanted!
And
I did take tons of photos – 500 in fact! However, I finally narrowed the number
down to about 350, so thought I simply share some more photos from Lviv.
Again,
hopefully my photos will inspire you to travel to Lviv and enjoy it as much as
we did!
We watched so many people try and climb on top of this horse in front of Atlas Café, located on a corner in the Market Square. |
At the 15th-century-arcaded gallery at the Armenian
Cathedral, you’ll find the remains of an ancient Armenian cemetery with
gravestones dating back 600 years.

The Citadel Inn, located in Fort II, was
built by the Austrian government in 1850-1856 to defend the eastern ways to the
Lviv Citadel. Today, the citadel features a boutique hotel and restaurant
and offers great views over the city. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day
we visited.

ReplyDeleteHi Irene! Good to hear from you. I highly recommend exploring Ukraine someday especially since you have a connection to it. Lovely people and architecture!
