"a liitle piece of my town" :)

Lviv, the most beautiful cities of Ukraine, the real pearl of European architecture, and the biggest city in Western Ukraine was founded as a fort in the mid 13th century and named after the King Danulo’s son Lev. Located roughly in the midpoint of Europe, it quickly became the centre of trade and commerce. Due to its geographical location the city was a meeting place of Ukrainian, Polish, Jewish and Austrian cultures. Armenians, Hungarians, Greeks, Italians, Serbs, and many more others lived there for the duration of many centuries. All of them together had introduced wide variety of traditions, cultures, religions and a mix of architecture. Moreover, its architectural landscape joins the monuments of numerous styles and different epochs. From the gothic XIV century to the baroque and Renaissance-style this city impresses all visitors by its amazing beauty!
Lviv has a rich and impressive history. The walls of old Lviv buildings still keep the spirit of past centuries. Cozy streets and fascinating monuments make it a unique tourist attraction among the Ukrainian and Eastern European cities.Being over 750 years old, this place is full of historical sites and architectural splendour, waiting to be discovered by tourists. Its Old Town with ancient buildings and ornate churches was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1998.
Nowadays all visitors who have ever been in Lviv remember its beauty and always compare with Paris, Prague or London. In fact, people name this city “little Paris and London” in one place. Such comparison has its explanation: because the weather is pretty the same as in London (morning shower and mist, sunny afternoon, and warm evening), and architectural style resembles splendour of Paris, this town is always full with visitors not only from Europe but also from all over the world. Moreover, I can say you, that in Lviv, you may found such streets where staying in the centre you can reach two opposite buildings’ walls by your arms.
Finally, I really want to share some unique facts about my city with you (not all, but a few). First off all, it is the city of thousands stone lions. Indeed, you may found them everywhere: on the streets as the monuments, on the building, roofs, doors, windows, or even at official flags. This animal is our symbol. Also, some interesting fact is that a huge river flows under ground of the city; nevertheless, because sewage and river’s water have being mixed, the town experiences lack of water. However, Lviv’s habitants might be proud for numerous remarkable sights; one of them is that one out of three world’s best Opera Houses is located in this city (other one is also in Ukraine). Moreover, in 2006 Hert Hoff, world’s famous performer of laser’s show, made a fantastic gift for Lviv’s 750 celebration (you may watch part of it here http://youtube.com/watch?v=_CS6dZ9D4bE 
I’m really happy to be born in this amazing city, and for me it is the best place in theworld!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))
