Lviv Opera House

Visiting the Lviv Opera House for the "Romantic instrumental orchestra” - Ennio Morricone, Richard Clayderman and other famous musicians and their hits. Love the "Lonely Shepherd" song. The Opera House is decorated with 5kg (11 lb) of real gold leaf.

The Golden Rose Synagogue in Lviv

The Golden Rose Synagogue in Lviv was the oldest synagogue in Ukraine. Built in 1582 and destroyed by the Nazis in 1942. Only one wall remains today. This synagogue was a gem of the Renaissance architecture. It was located at the Medieval Jewish quarters. The first image shows what it looked like before. (The towers in the background belong to other churches.) The next photo shows what is left...
