Founded in the 1360s, built over a long time—up to 1481, in typical European Gothic style. In the walls, high windows, covered with stained glass. Parts: Kampianiv Chapel (Каплиця Кампіанів)—built near the northern wall of the Latin Cathedral in 1619—and the Boimiv Chapel (Каплиця Боїмів) which built as a tomb in 1610s for the merchant Boim family. A mannerist architecture marvel all made of black stone.
The Archcathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, usually called simply the Latin Cathedral is a 14th-century Latin Catholic cathedral in Lviv, western Ukraine. It is located in the city's Old Town, in the south western corner of the market square, called Cathedral Square.

Go explore the underground space beneath the church (entrance from the back side of the church). Ask for a tour guide, you will learn a lot about the city history. Church itself was built based on Rome's Il Gesu church. It could accommodate up to 5,000 faithful. Built in baroque style in 1610–1630, finishing work continued into 1660. In 1775–1848, the church building took place in meetings of the birth of the Diet Galicia, the first provincial parliament.

You can climb the tower of the town hall: go in via the main entrance, wander about until you see a sign 'вхид на вежу', then follow those signs up 103 steps to a ticket-office and up 305 more steps to the top of the tower. There's a great view of the Old Town, and this is clearly one of the romantic spots of the city. The City Hall is made of brick, four-square plan, with patio, in 1830—1835, in the Viennese classicism style. Added the town hall a clock tower. Around the building on the square are three fountains in 1900s: first the Fountain Adonis (to Northeast) has a cup, which stands on the pavement, in the centre of a star, outlined in red and black stone. In the centre of the bowl—a statue of the hero character of ancient mythology Adonis with a dog and boar killed him; Fountain Neptune (to Southwest) In the centre of the bowl—a statue of ancient mythology character Neptune—the Roman god of freshwater and the sea—which is situated at the feet of dolphin; and also on the square is the Fountain Amphitrite (to Northwest) with a statue of ancient mythology character Amfitryta, consort of Neptune with a dolphin.
Donated by members of the Argentine Ukrainian diaspora, and absolutely unmistakable in the centre of town; a sculpture of the writer, and a wave-shaped monument with Ukrainian folk-art motifs rising to his side. Sometimes seems to be used by locals as a climbing-wall.
