Attractions of Kolomyia

The majestic church of Saint Yosafat (the former church of the Virgin Mary) rises in the center of Kolomyia, next to the market square.

The parish Roman Catholic church in the baroque style was built according to the project of the famous Italian architect Bernard Meretin in 1775 (according to other sources - in 1762). Rebuilt in 1895 after a fire.

During Soviet times, the church was closed and turned into a Children's World store. In 1991, it resumed its activities as the Greek Catholic Church of the Holy Martyr Yosafat Kuntsevych.

Vidrodzhennya Square (Renaissance Square) is the historical center of the city of Kolomyia.

In the medieval city, it was part of a large market square where the town hall stood (initially there was a castle in its place, then a Catholic church).

Houses of the 19th and 20th centuries have been preserved along the perimeter of the Vidrodzhennya Square. The oldest among them is building No. 1, which housed the Grand Hotel before the Second World War.

In 1914, a bust of Taras Shevchenko was erected on the square to celebrate the poet's 100th birthday, but it was soon destroyed. A new monument to Shevchenko was erected only in 1990.

The cozy pedestrian part of Vyacheslav Chornovol Avenue begins from the Vidrodzhennya Square.
