Ivano-Frankivsk is a cozy western Ukrainian city with deep historical roots and a chamber atmosphere of the old Stanislav, founded by Andrei Pototsky.

Among the man-made attractions, the Armenian Church is especially noteworthy - a high baroque temple of the XVIII century with two towers next to the market square; The Resurrection Cathedral, started as a Jesuit church in 1720 and subsequently rebuilt; the majestic Pototsky Castle, laid down by the city's founder; the monument to Adam Mickiewicz is one of the few in Ukraine; and the elegant Art Nouveau Town Hall, forming the central silhouette of the city.
