3. Lviv's Old Town
 |
| Stare Misto L’vova (Lviv's Old Town) |
From the veeeery cold (sender's own words) Ukraine, this postcard came to my postbox today. Sometimes multiviews are disappoiting to some people. I partly understand that, they don't allow you to see the image clearly because they are too small. But when you don't know the country they are not only usually beautiful (it depends on the design, of course) but helpful too. I like them! Some places from the historic Old Town are featured here. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.
I also learnt the name of the city in several languages: Lviv (Ukranian), Lwów (Polish), Lemberg (German) and Leopolis (Latin & Spanish). It means City of Lions.

Beautiful views
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, multiviews can be helpful when you don't know the city or the country depicted on them. They can give a more precise idea of the main landmarks of the place.
Exactly my opinion!
