   Lviv Town Hall

   A symbol of the city’s self-governance and civic spirit, with its iconic tower overlooking Lviv’s historic core.

   A place that honors those who were killed during the Maidan - Revolution of Dignity (2013-2014), standing as a powerful symbol of sacrifice and the present-day fight for freedom.
