Champ de Mars

Overview

Since the 18th century, the Lychakiv cemetery in Lviv has been the resting place of those who have defended the city against invaders throughout its history. Close to the Austro-Hungarian graves or those dating from the Second World War, a forest of flags has sprung up on freshly dug tombs, such as that of Y.L Petrov, who fell in 2023 defending the freedom of his country.
