Lviv Arsenal

There’s a department of the Lviv Historical Museum at one of the city’s three historic Arsenal buildings.

It’s a stiff walk uphill, just east of the centre, but will thrill anyone with a taste for old-school weaponry.

The exhibition spans 1,000 years and 30 countries, and has blades and fi****ms that increase of varying sophistication.

Many of these pieces were crafted to be seen and come encrusted with precious stones and inlaid with ivory and mother of pearl.

One of a catalogue of must-sees is a double-edged Ottoman sword from the 17th century, named “Zulqifar”. There are also Polish maces from the high middle ages, an Italian Renaissance ceremonial helmet, a Tatar shield from the 17th century and bronze canons forged in Lviv in the 1500s and 1600s.

Armenian Cathedral

There has been an Armenian community in Lviv since the 13th century, and it’s around 1,000-strong today after immigration during the Soviet Union.

As the oldest church in the city, the Armenian Cathedral was founded in the 1360s.

The church has seen a few changes due to fire, but the Byzantine layout and khachkars (engravings of Armenian crosses) in the apse on the eastern side of the temple are from the earliest period.

The southern section of the arcaded courtyard outside is also historic and dates to the 15th century.

In the 1900s the church’s interior walls were painted with bold Art Nouveau frescoes by the Polish artists Józef Mehoffer and Jan Henryk de Rosen.

Market Square

It seems like all streets in the Old Town converge on this historic and hectic central square surrounding Lviv’s Town Hall.

Market Square heaves with locals, tourists and street performers and the amount to see on this one plaza is almost overwhelming: There are glorious townhouses on each side of the square, many from the Renaissance (especially on the East side), and some with later Rococo designs.

Most contain bars, restaurants and cafes where you can watch the throngs, but there are numerous museums and tasteful artisan shops.

Rounding off the scene are four classical fountains, one on each corner and depicting Diana, Neptune, Adonis and Amphitrite.

Old Town

Lviv had the good fortune of escaping major destruction in the Second World War, and its position on the trade roads between the Black Sea and Central Europe furnished it with more beautiful architecture than you can hope to get through in one visit.

The old centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, bursting with more than 2,000 registered landmarks, many in mint condition despite being 500 years old.

This abundance of sophisticated stone-built architecture is partly down to a calamity, as all the wooden buildings were wiped out by two fires in the 1500s.

Every sightseeing tour should begin at Market Square, which we’ll come to shortly
