Armenian Cathedral of Lviv, Medieval cathedral in Old Town, Ukraine.
The stone cathedral features a twelve-sided drum, open arcade galleries, and medieval tombstones with Armenian inscriptions in the courtyard floor.
Built between 1363 and 1370 by architect Doring, the cathedral served as the religious center for Armenian merchants who controlled eastern trade routes.
The interior walls display Art Deco frescoes created by Jan Henryk Rosen in 1920s, including representations of religious scenes and carved stone crosses called khachkars.
Visitors can access the cathedral complex through entrances on both Virmenska Street and Lesya Ukrainka Street to explore the medieval architectural elements.
The cathedral incorporates architectural elements from the Armenian city of Ani, making it the only structure of Armenian church design in Western Ukraine.
