Boryslav, Industrial city in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.
Boryslav is an industrial city in western Ukraine that developed along the Tysmenytsia River valley. The city grew from merged settlements and developed around oil and mineral extraction industries.
The settlement began as a small village in the 14th century and was transformed when oil was discovered beneath the land. Industrial operations developed rapidly and shaped the region's economy for decades.
The petroleum museum tells the story of the workers who built this place, while Ivan Franko's writings capture what life was like for those who labored in the oil fields.
The bridge over the river connects the main parts of town and links to roads leading toward neighboring districts. You can easily move between different areas and the surrounding region from this central point.
Ancient stone carvings from around 1000 BC have been found in this area, possibly related to early religious practices. These discoveries show that people were drawn to this land centuries before industrial activity began.
