The first tram depot
Three one-storey buildings at the address of Dmytro Vitovsky, 57 in the XX century were the embodiment of technical progress in Lviv. Here was the first power plant, immediately put on the rails the first electric tram.
In 2017, the depot turned into Lem Station – a creative hub, a place of attraction for local IT and informal parties. And although the building itself is only in the process of reincarnation, there are often concerts, exhibitions and even raves.
The yard of the Young Spectator Theater
Old dolls, huge butterflies, brooms and masks: once all this was part of the scenery of children’s performances, today it is a great abstract application. It was created by the theater staff, and Bulgarian street artists Mykola Bozhinov and Victoria Georgieva decorated the theater with their drawings.
House crossword puzzle
While on Sakharov Street, be sure to pay attention to the unusual and attractive House-Crossword.
This is a modern art object, which is desirable to inspect in the dark. On one of the walls of the house is a huge crossword puzzle with questions. And all the answers are written in neon paint. Therefore, you can test your erudition and sharpness of mind only at night.
A street with several names
In the early 2000s, Lviv hosted the annual KinoLev independent film festival for the first time, which began the tradition of renaming in honor of outstanding directors. Each new last name is added to the official street name, and the old one is attached to the wall in the corner of the street.
