"Ancient Zvenyhorod" Historical and Cultural Reserve was created in 2020 on the territory of an national importance archeological monument - the hillfort of the historic city of Zvenyhorod in the Lviv region. In the 11th-12th centuries, it was the capital of the Zvenyhorod principality, an important cultural, artistic and educational center. This is where the three oldest documents of the archival fund of Ukraine come from - birch certificates.
The prosperity of Zvenyhorod Halytskyi is connected with the stay on the throne of Volodymyrko Volodarevych, the great-grandson of Yaroslav the Wise. The ramparts of an ancient Rus settlement with a cubit, the remains of a princely palace, a stone church, boyar and artisan quarters have been preserved.
After the Mongol-Tatar invasion in 1241, Zvenyhorod fell into a long decline. At the beginning of the 18th century, the hetman of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Adam Senyavskyi, began to build the Zvenyhorod Castle on the hillfort, but the construction was never completed. Four pentagonal corner earthen bastions and the remains of the system of earthen fortifications remain of its fortifications.
You can learn more about the history of the historic city in the museum of the historical and cultural reserve "Ancient Zvenyhorod". Archaeological finds from the territory of the settlement, graphic materials, interactive exhibits based on augmented reality are presented here. You can take a virtual tour of the streets of the medieval city, see the hypothetical interiors of churches and palaces.
The reserve also includes the "Prosvita" building of 1926, which is planned for restoration and placement of additional exhibits.

Ceramic workshop "ArtGava" of the potter Ivan Lukovsky in the village of Havarechchyna seeks to revive the traditions of this center of the famous Havarechchyna black-smoked ceramics, known for its stable black color and metallic luster.
The art of firing Havarechchyna ceramics has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. At the beginning of the 20th century, more than 40 potters and almost 70 kilns worked in Havarechchyna. But during Soviet times, this craft in the village almost disappeared. It was only thanks to the initiative of the "Lion Society" and individual enthusiasts that the ancient fishery was restored.
Ivan Lukovsky's workshop of Havarechchyna ceramics offers visitors to get acquainted with the technology of making ceramic dishes according to traditional local technology. Workshops on making clay products are held in the workshop. Excursions in Havarechchyna and dinners with fire-cooked dishes are offered.

Natural object
The "Blue Windows" karst lakes (Blue Well, Khovanets) are located on the territory of the Northern Podillya National Nature Park among the hills that form the Voronyatsky Ridge.
They are located on the edge of the forest 2 kilometers southeast of the village of Yaseniv, 4 kilometers east of the village of Pidhirtsi. There are three lakes here, two of which are very close, and the third is a little further to the east. The lakes are natural monuments of local importance, although they do not have nature conservation status.
The name "Blue Windows" comes from the bright turquoise color of the water, which is most likely due to the dissolution of limestone rocks. The color of the water changes depending on the season. The depth of two unique reservoirs is approximately 3.5-3.8 meters. The water is cool and clear. The powerful perennial beeches of the northwestern edge of the Podillya Highlands adorn the blue water bodies.
In winter, the "Blue Windows" karst lakes do not freeze.

The Boim Chapel near the walls of the Latin Cathedral is one of the most remarkable architectural buildings of Lviv in the Renaissance style, an architectural monument of national importance.
The chapel was built at the beginning of the 17th century over the family crypt of the Lviv patricians Boim (the city cemetery was located next to the cathedral). Presumably, the construction was carried out by the team of architect Andriy Bemer.
Experts call this building in the style of the mature Renaissance with a transition to Baroque a vivid example of southern mannerism in Ukraine. The western facade of the chapel impresses with the wealth of decorative decoration. The author of the sculptural composition is considered to be the master from Wroclaw, Hanush Sholts. The dome is crowned by an unusual sculpture of a seated Christ. The interior is also filled with many sculptural images, most of which are by Yan Pfister.
The Boim Chapel Museum is a subdivision of the Lviv National Art Gallery.

Architecture
The Jewish prayer house of the "Ishre Lev" society on the southeastern edge of the Rynok Square in Belz attracts attention with its expressive architecture with a wooden bay window, completed by an oriental-style bulbous bathhouse.
The building was built on the corner of the former Torhova and Kushnirska streets in 1909 at the expense of an influential Belz resident Faivel Taube. It was he who founded the Society for the Support of the Sick and the Poor in Belz, which was called "Ishre Lev".

The historical and memorial complex "Prison on Stryiska" was opened in 2013 in the former torture chamber of the NKVD, which was located in the inner courtyard of the District Court building in Drohobych.
During the Second World War and in the first years of the Soviet occupation, at least 1,200 residents of Drohobychchyna were tortured and shot here.
The former building of the Imperial District Court in Drohobych is one of the most beautiful in Drohobych, but at the same time it is a symbol of totalitarianism and repression of the four occupation regimes. The three-story building in the historicist style was erected at the beginning of the 20th century, becoming one of the largest courts in Galicia. In addition to 20 judges, there was a court office and a temporary prison. In the interwar period, the Polish authorities placed a city court here.
The same premises were also used as a court during the German occupation of 1941-1944. But the most terrible glory of the "Drohobych torture house" was acquired in the years 1939-1941 and 1944-1959, when the Drohobych Directorate of the NKVD was located here with an internal prison, where local residents were tortured and shot en masse.
Currently, it is the building of the Institute of Physics, Mathematics, Economics and Innovative Technologies of the Drohobych State Pedagogical University.
In 2013, on the site of the former torture chamber, the memorial "Prison on Stryiska" was created according to the project of Drohobych architect Maksym Chirka, and a museum, which is a subdivision of the Drohobychchyna Museum, was opened.
The exhibition tells about Stalin's terror and repression in the western Ukrainian lands: the occupation and establishment of Soviet power in Drohobych region, the creation of Drohobych region, the repression of the NKVD-NKGB in Drohobych region. A photo-martyrologist of NKVD-NKGB victims is presented. The review of the personal belongings of the tortured, instruments of murder and torture, found during the research of the territory of the former torture chamber, causes special excitement.
