The Bernardin Church from 1600, now St.Andrew Ukrainian Catholic Church in Lviv. You can see small gallery on the hight about 20 m, from which I took a picture. You can see the figure of Archangel - the Gods Messenger. Beautiful paintings were restored and conserved for the money of European Union couple of years ago. About the Church and Monastery on Wiki http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8F:Lviv_-_Bernardyny_at_night_-_01.jpg
