With various chunks dating from between 1370 and 1480, this working cathedral is one of Lviv’s most impressive churches. The exterior is most definitely Gothic while the heavily gilded interior, one of the city’s highlights, has a more baroque feel with colourfully wreathed pillars hoisting frescoed vaulting and mysterious side chapels glowing in candlelit half light. Services are in four languages including English.
If you walk around the cathedral, you'll eventually come to a relief of Pope John Paul II, erected to commemorate his visit to Lviv in 2001.
