Lviv Tour

We went on a great tour.  Our guide showed us the main sites around the main square.  We saw the Pharmacy Museum, Coffee Mine, Dungeons, Jesuit Church, 13th Century city and unexpectedly came across a movie being filmed.

My favourite was the area under the Jesuit Church.  It was one of the most genuine places I have ever visited.  There were different layers underneath the church.  The first area was thought to be from the 16th century.  The last area was thought to be from the 13th century.  Excavators believe it was the first level of actual civilization in Lviv.  We stood in what they think used to be a house from that time frame.

They had some of the ancient artifacts just laying on a table.  It was genuine in the sense that it wasn’t set up in a professional touristy manner.  It is great to see a location that was not really disturbed.
