Stepan Bandera, a prominent Ukrainian political figure and leader of the OUN, spent his childhood here (a monument has been erected, a museum has been opened). The fates of many other fighters for Ukrainian independence are connected with the city. For this reason, Stryi is sometimes called "the capital of Ukrainian nationalism." The memory of the victims of Soviet repression is protected by the memorial "Fighters for the Freedom of Ukraine", opened in 2005 on the territory of the prison where political prisoners were held.

Пам'ять про жертви радянських репресій оберігає меморіал "Борцям за волю України", відкритий в 2005 році на території в'язниці, де утримували політв'язнів.

Assumption of Holy Virgin Cathedral
Temple , Architecture
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the main Greek-Catholic church of Stryi.
The history of the shrine originates from the church of the Franciscan monastery, known since 1608. In 1785, the Austrian authorities liquidated the Catholic monastery and handed over the religious building to the Ukrainian community.
The wooden Assumption Church was the oldest in Stryi, but due to its poor condition, it was dismantled and a new church was built on this site. The relics of Blessed Petro Verhun are kept here. The main shrine is the miraculous Lesko icon of the Mother of God.
