Vul. Ivana Fedorovycha, 27 – former Golden Rose Synagogue (Taz, Turey Zahav)
The synagogue was constructed in Renaissance style in 1582–1595 from brick and stone by architect Paweł Szczęśliwy (Pavlo Shchaslyvyi) and funded by the wealthy Nachmanowicz family. The synagogue would have been one of the oldest within the current borders of Ukraine. Yet in August 1941, all its religious objects were plundered and in 1943 it was demolished by explosives by the Nazis. The ruins that remain today, long neglected but undergoing some preservation efforts recently, are a symbol of the tragedy of Lviv's Jews.
