13 Virmenska Street, Lviv, Historic building at Virmenska Street, Lviv, Ukraine

The four-story residential palace combines Neoclassicist and Rococo architectural elements with a central balcony supported by decorative stone consoles.

Two medieval houses on this site merged in the late 18th century when architects Piotr Polejowski and Pierre Denis Guibaut created the current structure.

The building represents the Armenian presence in Lviv, as it stands on a street where the first Armenian printer in the city operated his press.

The ground floor houses the Cilicia café bar, while upper levels contain residential spaces and the Bazikalo hostel for visitors.

Archaeological excavations in 2000 revealed wooden defensive structures from the Galician-Volhynian principality beneath the building's courtyard.
