Lychakiv Cemetery

Lychakiv Cemetery is more than a burial ground – it is a city of memory, with quiet avenues, old family tombs, chapels and memorial sculptures. Here, the history of Lviv unfolds through the lives of people who lived, created and helped shape the city.

During the tour, you will see the graves of Ivan Franko, Solomiya Krushelnytska, Volodymyr Ivasyuk and other prominent cultural, scientific and public figures. Some of the lesser-known family tombs and monuments, however, have equally fascinating stories.

We will also explore the symbolism of historic gravestones, memorial sculpture and the way Lychakiv Cemetery developed together with Lviv over the past centuries.
