Lviv High Castle, Medieval castle ruins on Castle Hill, Lviv, Ukraine.
The stone fortification stands at 413 meters above sea level, forming the highest observation point in the entire city of Lviv.
The Piast dynasty established this defensive castle in 1270, which later underwent reconstruction by King Casimir III of Poland in 1362.
The castle grounds house a memorial hill constructed in 1869 that commemorates the 300th anniversary of the Lublin Union between Poland and Lithuania.
The site includes an observation deck that provides panoramic views of Lviv's architecture, parks, and surrounding landscapes throughout all seasons.
A 141-meter television tower, constructed in 1957, now stands where the original castle structures once dominated the cityscape.
