Details: "All the buildings are located in the historic area and the UNESCO buffer zone. They are listed in the State Register of Immovable Monuments of Ukraine," said Kozytskyi.
He also mentioned that a commission made up of representatives from city and regional cultural heritage protection authorities will begin working at the sites. The experts will prepare inspection reports once the emergency services have authorised access.
In particular, these are buildings on Konovaltsia and Kokorudza streets. The photos previously posted by Lviv Mayor Andrii Sadovyi and the Lviv Oblast State Emergency Service show that some of these monuments are protected by the UNESCO Blue Shield.
In a comment to Ukrainska Pravda.Culture, the press service for Lviv City Council confirmed that experts are currently working at the scene. Further details about the damaged architectural monuments will be released later.
One of the buildings damaged in the Russian attack is the Lviv Oblast Centre for Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation on Konovaltsia Street. The centre is also a local architectural monument. It is located in the villa of Józefa Franz, a Lviv businesswoman. Official data indicate that it was built in 1893, so it is now over 130 years old.
