Bernardine Church and Monastery, Renaissance church complex in Old Town, Ukraine
The Bernardine Church and Monastery exhibits a multi-level facade with strict lower sections and decorated upper parts designed by architect Paolo Dominici.
The monastery complex served as a defense outpost in the 15th century, protecting Lviv from attacks through its strategic position outside the city walls.
The interior contains wooden altars from the 18th century and wall paintings created by Benedykt Mazurkevych between 1738 and 1740.
The Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine occupies part of the monastery building, storing important documents about the region's past.
The bell tower clock runs five minutes fast, following a tradition from 1753 when a monk adjusted time to close city gates before an invasion.
