With its black color, it is definitely an eye-catcher

The Black Tenement House in Lviv (also called Lorencowiczowska or Anczowska from the names of the first owners) - a tenement house in Lviv, in the Market Square at no. 4, Renaissance, erected in 1588–1589 according to the design of Piotr Barbon. The creator of the characteristic elevation was probably Andrzej Podleśny. Rebuilt in 1596 (increased by two storeys) and 1884, one of the most valuable monuments of Polish architecture in the 16th century; in the years 1926–1940 it housed the Historical Museum of the City of Lviv, including, from November 20, 1938, the Historical Museum of the Defense of Lviv. From 1940, it houses the Ukrainian Historical Museum in Lviv. The tenement house was built for the Italian customs collector Tomasz Alberti. Soon it passed into the hands of the apothecary family of Lorencowicz, and then - of the wealthy patrician Marcin Nikanor Anczewski (Anczowski). Since 1926, it has been the property of the city, which included the historical museum of the city of Lviv. The facade of the tenement house is covered with diamond sandstone rustication, which has blackened with age or - according to other sources - has been painted black; hence the name of the tenement house. The black tenement house is considered to be one of the most valuable monuments of bourgeois architecture from the Renaissance era in old Poland. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czarna_Kamienica_we_Lwowie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccMvQVWyU50

Very beautiful cathedral right on the market square

Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lviv (colloquially Latin Cathedral) - one of the oldest churches in Lviv, located at the south-west corner of the Lviv market square. The construction of the church began in the place of an older wooden one in the 1660s, and construction was carried out in the middle of the 15th century. The three-nave building in the Gothic style is 67 m long and 23 m wide, and in some elements its builders have been modeled after St. Mary's Church in Krakow. The seat of Lviv archbishops of the Latin rite. Parish church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary parish. The construction of the temple began around 1360 during the reign of King Casimir III the Great. The presbytery was built the earliest, and it was sealed in 1404. The church was consecrated a year later in 1405 by the Przemyśl bishop Maciej Janina. Initially, the church did not have the rank of a cathedral, it did not become one until 1412, when Lviv became the bishop's seat. At the same time, work was carried out on the tower part, while the nave was covered with a vault only in 1481. In 1440, the first chapel of the Buczacki family was completed. After the great fire of Lviv in 1527, the cathedral's vault in the naves was collapsed, made by a master stonemason from Wrocław, master Joachim Grom (Gran) On April 1, 1656, King John II Casimir made his vows in Lviv in front of the miraculous image of Our Lady of Graces in this cathedral, and on October 21, 1677, the later Polish king, Stanisław Leszczyński, was baptized in the cathedral. In the years 1765–1772, during the reign of Archbishop Wacław Sierakowski, a thorough restoration of the cathedral was carried out, removing many old gothic and renaissance tombs, epitaphs and altars, plastering walls and gothic pillars, giving the temple a late baroque character with a rococo admixture (archbishop Sierakowski consecrated the temple in April 1776). The Marian-themed paintings covering the walls and vaults of the naves (by Stanisław Stroiński) come from the years 1771–1775. In 1777, one of the two towers (65 m high) received a rococo helmet. At the end of the 19th century, the chancel was renovated in the Gothic style according to the designs of Julian Zachariewicz, and stained glass windows were made (partly according to the design of Józef Mehoffer). The organ made by Jan Śliwiński comes from 1899 (three years earlier this organ builder also made a small organ in the presbytery). In 1910, the cathedral received the title of minor basilica by Pope Pius X. In 1917 the cathedral's roof made of copper was confiscated by the Austrians, leaving only the copper on the tower. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bazylika_archikatedralna_Wniebowzi%C4%99cia_Naj%C5%9Bwi%C4%99tszej_Maryi_Panny_we_Lwowie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTIZT3P-beU
