A monument to Franciszek Smolka, a Polish politician and a resident of Lviv, was installed on the square by sculptor Tadeusz Błotnicki in 1913 and dismantled in 1946.

St. George Cathedral of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is the main building of the Sviatoiurivska Mountain construction complex and is one of the most dominant features of the Lviv panorama. The cathedral was built over the course of 1744–1761 (by the architects B. Meretyn and K. Fesinger) and was restored in 1905–1911, 1933, 1980 and 1999-2001.

Lychakivsky (Lychakiv) cemetery is situated close to Mechnykova street; its territory occupies the Lychakiv plateau and its vicinities. As for today, this is the oldest preserved cemetery in Lviv which was officially opened in 1786. It is one of the best known European necropolises containing a lot of artistic monuments. The cemetery has been declared a historical, archaeological and artistic monument of national significance. There one can see the graves of many prominent persons, military burial places belonging to the times of the First and Second World Wars etc.

The former Biesiadecki Palace (also formerly owned by the Bielski, Potocki, and Komorowski families; currently housing a library) was built in the early eighteenth century. It underwent major changes over the years: a reconstruction in 1756 by architect Pierre Ricaud de Tirregaille; an interior renovation in the 1820s by architect Fryderyk Bauman; and a further reconstruction in 1934 by architect Jan Bagieński. The architectural styles include Rococo, Empire (in the interior), and Neoclassicism.

This standalone building is set back within the property behind a garden, which is separated from the square by a stone wall with an entrance gate. It is a prime example of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century urban palace architecture. Despite various renovations, the monument has preserved its original structural core.
