Prince Roman Street

Prince Roman Street was first mentioned in the archives of 1505 as Goncharov Street. From the name it is clear who inhabited this street, because the conditions for fishing were wonderful: Poltva flows nearby and you can find a lot of clay.

After the Austrians captured Lviv, Goncharov Street became known as the Galician suburb street. A century later, in 1885 it was named S. Batory Street in honor of one of the Polish kings. In Soviet times, the street was named first by the name of Y. Sverdlov, and then Vatutin. And only in the 90s it got its modern name.

At first it was an ordinary street: dirty and messy built up. Only in the late XIX - early XX centuries it began to acquire its modern appearance, and in 1894 the first tramways in Lviv were laid along it.

Now on the left side of the whole quarter stretches a house, on the site of which in 1614 built a monastery of Carmelites. It was part of the external level of the fortification of Lviv, as it was well fortified. In the XVIII century, the monastery managed to visit a silk weaving factory, a restaurant, and a prison in which political enemies of the Austrian Empire were kept.

Where is Kn Street? Romana street I. Franco, you can see a small square, founded in 1853. Once in its place stood the Epiphany Church.

On the left side of the street of Prince Roman is a small and relatively young street Shukhevych, which in the 1st half of the 19th century was called the Stone for the remains of stone fortifications.
