On Saturday, thanks to a guided tour organized by On Saturday, thanks to a guided tour organized by @lvivcitywalks, I gained a new perspective, both figuratively and literally, on my favorite street in Lviv - Vyshenskoho. Not only did I learn more about the history of the street and the architects who built it, but also had the opportunity to enter two buildings that provided great views of the street. The highlight of the day was visiting the lovely corner apartment with the spectacular oriel window (first photo).

The former Industrial School, built 1907-1909, arc The former Industrial School, built 1907-1909, architects Władysław Sadłowski and Adolf Weiss, in the style of Late Secession. On the building facade is one of the few places in Lviv you can still find the coats of arms of the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. This particular coat of arms, introduced in 1782, had symbols representing the four territories of the province: Galicia, Lodomeria, Auschwitz, and Zator. Here the eagles for Auschwitz and Zator have been lost. Even though a new coat of arms was introduced in 1804 (featuring a jackdaw and three crowns), this coat of arms was used until the fall of the empire in 1918.
