  • Vul. Marka Cheremshyny, 17 – sport complex
    Lviv's largest stadium of the late nineteenth century was built for the Polish gymnastics society "Sokół" in 1898. Next to the stadium stood a covered wooden riding hall for equestrian sports, designed by architect and builder Ivan Levynskyi in the Zakopane style. Later, during the interwar period, it was reconstructed into a masonry brick building for athletic exercise. The complex includes a stadium, a sports palace, courts for team sports, and a throwing sector. Built between the 1950s and 1980s on the site of the former Cetnerowka manorial estate, it borders the recreational area of Pohulianka Park, the student dormitory grounds, the Hill of Glory, and the Lychakiv Cemetery. Today, it serves as one of the buildings of the Lviv State University of Physical Culture. The stadium received a new name – "Skif".
