Vul. Arkhitektorska – monument to Lviv Eaglets (does not exist)
The monument to the fallen participants of the 1918 battle for Lviv was installed near the main building of the Lviv Polytechnic in 1925. The authors of this project were architect Witold Wincenty Rawski, sculptors Józef Starzyński and Andrzej Albrycht. The monument was destroyed after 1950.
Architecture
The seven-meter-high monument was made of white stone in the style of Art Deco (pol. styl kryształkowy) with the use of Neoclassicist elements. There was a pedestal on three steps, on one side of which the names of the buried were carved, while on the opposite side (from ul. Zachariewicza, now vul. Arkhitektorska) one could see a three-meter-high figure of an archangel with a sword, protecting the city gate. There was a carved frieze on the top part of the pedestal, crowned with sculptures of a mother eagle and two eaglets. According to the project, the monument was to be additionally surrounded by stone walls of the same height as the pedestal.
