Lviv (Ukrainian: Ëüâ³â L’viv, IPA: [lʲviu̯] ( listen); Polish: Lwów, IPA: [lvuf] ( listen); German: Lemberg, Russian: Ëüâîâ L'vov) is a city in western Ukraine, that was once a major population center of the Halych-Volyn Principality, the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, the Habsburg Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, and later the capital of Lwów Voivodeship during Second Polish Republic.
Formerly capital of the historical region of Galicia, Lviv is now regarded as one of the main cultural centres of today's Ukraine. The historical heart of Lviv with its old buildings and cobblestone roads has survived Soviet and Nazi occupation during World War II largely unscathed.
