Pl. Javorskoho – monument to Stanislaw Jablonowski (does not exist)

Installed in 1752-1754, this monument was the first in Lviv to honor a secular person. It is believed that it was installed by grateful Lviv citizens: the crown hetman Stanisław Jabłonowski successfully managed the defense of the city from the Tatar army in 1695. The probable author of the baroque statue was Sebastian Fesinger, a famous sculptor (Biriulow, 2007, 14-15).

At first, the monument was set up near the Jesuit church, on what is now pl. Yavorskoho. It is due to the fact that Jabłonowski had been a sponsor of the Jesuit Order and was thus buried in the crypt of their church in 1702. After the Austrian rule was established here in 1772 and, in particular, after the rearrangement of the Jesuit monastery building into a court, the monument was removed, and nothing was known about the statue for a long time. Around 1857, Hipolit Stupnicki, a journalist and an expert in local history, found it and initiated its restoration. After the restoration (approx. 1859) the monument was installed on the central Lviv promenade, the place of the former defensive walls. As a result, the street, named after the Austrian Archduke Karl Ludwig (ger. Karl Ludwig Strasse / pol. ulica Karla Ludwika), became known as Wały Hetmańskie (Hetman's Ramparts).

In 1932 the monument was transferred to its previous place, the present-day pl. Yavorskoho. Thus, plac Trybunalski was renamed into plac Jabłonowskiego. After WW2, the monument disappeared under unknown circumstances. In 1980 a memorial sign, in honor of the underground organization "Ivan Franko People's Guard," which operated in 1942-1944, was installed on this square. It was removed in the early 1990s. The territory of this square today is mostly occupied by café terraces during summers.
