Armenian Cathedral of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin
In the Armenian quarter of Lviv, between the streets of Virmenska and Lesi Ukrayinky, there is a cathedral, a bell tower, the palace of the archbishops and a nunnery. The buildings form a colorful "Armenian yard".
The construction was led by the Armenian architect Dorinh (Dorhi) at the expense of Armenian merchants. The image of the cathedral has many common features with the cathedral in the ancient Armenian capital of Ani. Over the centuries, the cathedral was renovated and extended. The oldest part is the eastern part (from the 14th century). Reconstruction in 1723 gave the building a baroque appearance.

У вірменському кварталі Львова між вулицями Вірменською та Лесі Українки знаходиться кафедральний собор, дзвіниця, палац архієпископів та жіночий монастир. Споруди утворюють колоритний "вірменський дворик".
Будівництво вів архітектор вірменин Дорінг (Дорхі) коштом вірменських купців. В образі собору багато спільних рис із собором у давній вірменській столиці Ані. Упродовж століть собор оновлювався, добудовувався. Найстаріша частина - східна (з XIV сторіччя). Реконструкція 1723 року надала будівлі барокового вигляду.
У вівтарній частині є традиційні кам'яні хрести "хачкари". Значну художню цінність становлять скульптурні групи XV століття "Увірування Хоми" та "Свята Софія з доньками".
