Other sights: Sain Nicolas Church (XVI century), Resurrection Church (1624), Ascension Church (1730), fragments of old buildings, the first monument to Vyacheslav Chornovol in Ukraine.

The city is particularly clean and orderly and quite interesting due to the many preserved architectural monuments. You can take a walk along the pedestrian street of Shashkevych and the squares laid out by the Austrians at the time on the site of the former city defense ramparts.

Місто Золочів - райцентр на трасі Львів-Тернопіль, що входить до "Золотої підкови" Львівщини.

Перше укріплення Радече на пагорбі Купина над річкою Золочівка з'явилося ще в XIII столітті.

Перша письмова згадка про Золочів датується 1427 роком, коли місто перейшло від роду Кердеєв до Яна Менжика. У 1523 році Золочів отримав Магдебурзьке право. Про часи боярського правління, коли за місто велася судова тяжба між представниками роду Щечонів, нагадує Боярський двір - найдавніша будівля Золочева.

Головною ж пам'яткою є Золочівський замок, побудований в 1634-1636 роках руським воєводою Яковом Собеським, батьком польського короля Яна III Собеського. З XIX століття приміщення використовувалися як в'язниця польською та радянською владами, німецькими окупант ...

Інші пам'ятки: Миколаївська церква (XVI століття.), Воскресенська церква (1624 рік), Вознесенський костел (1730 рік), фрагменти старої забудови, перший в Україні пам'ятник В'ячеславу Чорноволу.

Місто відрізняється особливою чистотою та впорядкованістю та досить цікаве завдяки безлічі збережених пам'яток архітектури. Можна прогулятися пішохідною вулицею Шашкевича та скверами, розбитими свого часу австрійцями на місці колишніх міських оборонних валів.
