Rynok Square
The City Hall
The current building of the Lviv City Hall was constructed in the Viennese Classicist style in the middle of the 19th century. For only 3 UAH (47 eurocents), one can climb 350 wooden stairs and have the pleasure of viewing all the beauty that the city affords from the gallery of the City Hall tower.
The Bandinelli Palace
The Bandinelli Palace (2 Rynok Square) is a monument of the late Renaissance (1593). The fasade displays stone dolphins that acted as a talisman for trade and protection for the building's original owner.
The Kornyakt Palace
The Kornyakt Palace (6 Rynok Square) represents an extremely valuable Renaissance monument dating to 1580; it was the palace of the wealthiest citizen in the whole history of Lviv - the merchant Constantine Kornyakt. Later, it was a Royal Mansion: the property and residence of Polish King Jan Sobieski.
The Black Stone House
The black stone house at 4 Rynok Square (1588) is a unique monument of Renaissance architecture and is probably not comparable to any other building in the whole of Europe.
Rynok Square
Rynok Square has been the centre of political, public, cultural, and commercial life of the city for 500 years; it is the heart of Lviv, the setting of the historic beginning of the Europeanization of Ukraine. Surrounding it are about fifty unique architectural monuments dating back to the 16-20th centuries
