Boryslav, Industrial city in Lviv Oblast, Ukraine.
Located on the Tysmenytsia River at 359 meters elevation, Boryslav extends across merged settlements including Tustanovychi, Volianka, and Mraznytsia in western Ukraine.
The city began as a village in 1387 and transformed into an industrial center after petroleum discovery, reaching its production peak in 1909 with 5% of global oil output.
The petroleum museum preserves industrial heritage while Ivan Franko's novels 'Boa Constrictor' and 'Boryslav Is Laughing' document the social conditions of oil workers.
The central bridge over Tysmenytsia River connects all major roads, providing access to neighboring districts and industrial areas within the Drohobych Raion region.
Ancient petroglyphs from the first millennium BC, including 270 solar signs, indicate early human presence and religious practices in the Boryslav area.
