The Armenian Cathedral in Lviv was built in 1363-1370. By the way, it was the first cathedral in the city of Lviv, for the Ruthenian Metropolitanate (and cathedral) was located in the tawn of Halych and the Roman Catholic Metropolitanate with the see in Lviv was founded later (first source based information about the building of the Latin cathedral comes from 1399). From the time of its construction there is only one fresco in the Armenian cathedral (of the st. Apostle Judas Thaddaeus) in the niche in the altar part (to your right, when you look towards the main altar), which preserved because for many centuries ist was covered up by a side altar or something like that. Only by the restauration in the 20th century the side altar has been removed and the old fresco behind it discovered. Another interesting thing is a depiction of the 12 Astrological signs, represented in the arcade in the form of corresponding constellations. Very interesting for me was also the representation of the senses, showed in the form of allegorical figures. And a special detail: there are not 5, but 6 senses depicted there, it means that the intuition is added as the 6th one (greetings to all, who like stories about persons with the extrasensory perception). There are also many other interesting and creepy images there, like the figures of the spirits, who follow the burial procession, and so on (all the fans of the Supernatural series will love it).

The House of Scientists boasts the most amazing staircase you'll likely ever see. No wonder it is used for wedding photos. The architectural style is beautiful and it is charming to walk through the covered entrance to the side door (which opens into the view of the magnificent staircase) and well worth the tour!

I like this place. It's a very cozy and compact building with a lot of historical treasures inside. Most of all I like the exhibition of very old dishes. It was so interesting to know more about life in Lviv and region a few centuries ago.
