Lonely Planet review for Roman Catholic Cathedral

Opposite the Boyim Chapel, on pl Katedralna stands the working Roman Catholic Cathedral (1370-1480). Here you can see a cannonball hanging by a chain off the cathedral's corner, which miraculously failed to penetrate its walls during a historic battle. If you walk around the cathedral, you'll see a relief of Pope John Paul II on the other side, erected to commemorate his visit to Lviv in 2001.

The church's exterior is Gothic while the heavily gilded interior, one of the city's most ornate, has a more baroque feel.
