The main trade route from Lvov to the mouth of the Danube passed here. Many Poles and Armenians lived who contributed to the development of the city's economy and its cultural diversity. In 1690 monks of the Trinitarian Order arrived from Warsaw to Stanislav, and in 1716 the Jesuits - their temples became an adornment of the urban landscape. From the moment of its foundation, the city was well fortified with defensive ramparts and stone walls.

Almost all the fortifications were demolished, streets were laid in place of the ramparts, the city began to expand rapidly. Until now, the architecture of the restored old part is dominated by the Renaissance style. The activity of I.

Тут проходив головний торговий шлях зі Львова до гирла Дунаю. Проживало багато поляків і вірмен, які внесли свій вклад в розвиток економіки міста і його культурне різноманіття. В 1690 році з Варшави до Станіславова прибули монахи ордену тринітаріїв, а в 1716 році єзуїти - їх храми стали окрасою міського ландшафту. З моменту заснування місто було добре укріплене оборонними валами та кам'яними стінами. В 1772 році Станіславів потрапив під владу Австрії, з 1867 р. - Австро-Угорщини. Майже всі укріплення були знесені, на місці валів прокладені вулиці, місто почало швидко розширюватися. дотепер в архітектурі відреставрованої старої частини домінує стиль ренесансу. З історією Станиславова тісно пов'язана діяльність І. Франка, на честь якого місто було перейменовано в 1962 році. Також тут бували та працювали М. Грушевський, М. Коцюбинський, Д. Січинський, М. Рильський, Є. Коновалець, Д. Вітовський, С. Петлюра, С. Бандера. Останнім часом в центрі Івано-Франківська були проведені масштабні реставраційні роботи. Щорічно в пішохідній зоні навколо площі Ринок з'являються нові металеві скульптури, виконані майстрами під час Свята коваля, який проходить в рамках Дня міста Івано-Франківська (7 травня).

Ivano-Frankivsk Museum of Local Lore (Town Hall)

Architecture , Museum / gallery

The constructivist building of the town hall on Sq. The market is the most famous symbol of Ivano-Frankivsk. At the time of construction in 1932, it was the tallest building in the city (49.5 m). The first wooden town hall on this site was built shortly after the founding of the city in the XVII century, but then it was repeatedly rebuilt. The most interesting from an architectural point of view was the town hall of Austrian times, which existed in 1871-1915. In its current form, the town hall was built in the interwar period. Monolithic reinforced concrete walls could not be blown up by the German occupiers before the retreat in 1944. In April 1990, the national Ukrainian flag was raised for the first time over the building of Ivano-Frankivsk City Hall. Since Soviet times, the building houses several exhibits of the Museum of Local Lore: nature, history, folk art, archeology. There are rich collections of weapons and books, as well as antique furniture. In total - 120 thousand subjects. An interesting exhibit is a model of the old Stanislavov of the Potocki era. Numismatist meetings are held in the lobby every Sunday.
