Monument to Danil Galitsky
Description:
The monument to Danil Galitsky, the creator of the Galician-Volyn state, was erected in 2001, on the 745th anniversary of the city, on one of the oldest squares of Lviv. He is a magnificent equestrian figure rising on a pedestal.
About 9 tons of bronze were spent on the monument, and 60 tons of granite went to the pedestal. In two months, after the announcement of the competition for the construction of the monument, more than 20 projects were provided. The prize-winner of the competition was a creative association - sculptors Romanovich and Jarić, as well as architect Churilik.
The height of the monument is 10 meters. The eyes of the great commander are fixed on the ground. With his left hand he holds his faithful horse, and with his right hand he indicates the direction of movement. On the pedestal is engraved the inscription “King Danilo”.
