Working as a travel photographer I have had the opportunity of visiting some of the worlds most beautiful cities L'viv is one such city and is one which I have wanted to visit for many years When UNESCO included this beautiful city in its list of World Monuments of Architecture they wrote the following as part of the criterion by which they reached their decision: "In its urban fabric and its architecture, L’viv is an outstanding example of the fusion of the architectural and artistic traditions of Eastern Europe with those of Italy and Germany" I feel that L'viv is a very special city and one which I am delighted to include in my list of Virtual Cities Please take the time to look at my other websites and hopefully they will inspire you to visit Ukraine and explore both L'viv and Kiev You will love them both |
