(Описание на русском - ниже)

Ivan Franko National University of L'viv is one of the oldest in Europe - it was founded in 1661 by the order of the Polish king Jan II Kazimierz Waza. The university initially beared the King's name. The existing building was erected in 1877-1881 for the parliament of Galitzia and Lodomeria and was passed to the university in 1920.

This large yellow building composes a nice ensemble with the park of the same name that  stretches from the facade to the south-west. In the end of XVI century here was a garden. In XVII-XVIII centuries Jesuit monks added a brick factory and brewery to the area and the garden became known as "Jesuit Garden". The park was reconstructed several times, the last time recently. It's really nice to walk there under shades of trees in a hot summer day.

Львовский Национальный Университет имени Ивана Франко, один из старейших в Европе, был основан в 1661 году приказом польского короля Яна II Казимира Вазы. Изначально университет носил имя монарха. Нынешнее здание построено в 1877-1881 годах для парламента Галиции и Лодомерии, а университетским стало только в 1920 году.

Большой дом в желтых тонах представляет симпатичный ансамбль с парком, носящим то же имя (И.Франко). Парк тянется от фасада к юго-западу. В конце XVI века здесь был сад. В XVII-XVIII столетиях монахи-иезуиты построили рядом кирпичный заводик и пивоварню, а сад стали называть Иезуитским. Несколько раз парк реконструировался, в том числе совсем недавно. Жарким летним днем тут очень приятно побродить в тени больших деревьев.
