Atlants that are holding Lviv. The story that i found out by chance.

Today i was walking in the city center of Lviv city and accidentally stumbled upon a group of tourists. While I was waiting for my friend, I heard a story of the guide about the titans that are holding Lviv. I live here for about 10 years yet and often walked through this street but never paid attention to these sculptures.

Cemented Titans observe the movement of the city from the height of the portals and balconies.
It seems like they hold the house on their mighty shoulders, although in this case it is only a beautiful facade decoration.

As it turned out later, such statues in the center of Lviv are 12!! 😨😨 They are symmetrically placed in pairs.

I decided to make a little quest with my friend in few days (cos this weekend we have religious holidays) and to find other 11 statues. I guess it will be a very cool post soon:)))) Can't wait to share with you yet!

I made these photos on my phone MI 5:)

Best wishes,

Olga:)

Oh I can't wait to see the other statues and these are so amazing. I love the colour of this building and the ars nouveau window as well. I am following now too, so I won't miss the other statues when you post them!

Thank you:) can't wait to find them too!

Wow! How neat! Old building sculptures are awesome! Love these pictures.... Followed! :)

I will post the rest 11 statues soon, when i will find them all :)))

Great content

Вав, это реально интересный квест!!! Я тоже видел похожих, возле итальянского домика. Вот ведь память избирательная, походу воспоминания записывались в перерывах между глинтвейнами:)

Ахаахаа до речі глінтвейн то хороша думка:)

Мій улюбленій нарячий напій.

Там доречі, колись казіно було.
