Sambir, Historical settlement in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine

Located 295 meters above sea level, Sambir extends along the Dniester River in western Ukraine, serving as the administrative center of Sambir Raion.

The original settlement was destroyed by Tatar forces in 1241, leading to the establishment of a new city that became a manufacturing center under Polish rule.

The Church of Nativity of the Theotokos, reconstructed in stone during 1738, represents the religious heritage of this western Ukrainian community.

The city functions as a transportation hub with railway connections and maintains industries focused on food, clothing, and furniture production.

Before World War II, Sambir contained a population of 8,000 Jewish residents who managed local commerce and contributed to the city's development.
