We will also visit the defensive church of Peter and Paul (1630-1683), the Armenian church (1764) and the church of St. Nicholas of the monastery of Bernardine (ХVІI). Other notable places to visit include the city hall (1811), built in the style of classicism, and four interesting museums.

Ray

Lysonia mountain

This is a majestic symbol of the struggle of Ukrainians for their independence. September 2, 1916, was the bloodiest battle for the Legion of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen against the Imperial Russian army. To destroy the memory of this place, the Polish, Nazi and Soviet authorities forbade Ukrainians to visit the kurgan memorial on this mountain. This is a testament to those who gave their lives for Ukraine and the Ukrainian Spirit, and should be visited by all to truly understand Ukrainian national identity.

Nadrichne

In this former town Dryshchiv, on the banks of Zolota Lypa river, you can visit the beautiful church of St. Nicholas (1777) and a harmonious Neo-Gothic church (1914).

Bishche

Only the ancient defensive walls and the picturesque Renaissance-Baroque Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (XVI) survived from the former majestic city.
