A Bit About Lvov

Each town, like each human being, has its own character, soul and destiny.Its character develops with the times often tense and turbulent,with mortal clashes and heavy combats, sometimes changing to tranquil periods of peaceful, constructive labour. The soul of the town is the soul of its people, its creators: the builders and architects who raised the fortifications and built the houses, palaces and churches, the warriors who fought for its freedom and independence. It is the throbbing of its plants and factories, the hum of machines and the emotional silence of the poet’s study, the high-pitched hubbub of school-children and the deferential rustle of leaves over revered graves. It is the labour of its working people – the creators of all its material and cultural values.
