Formation of the Street
Kostya Levytskoho Street, located in the Lychakivskyi district of Lviv, is one of the city’s main thoroughfares. Its formation took place at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries as part of the city’s eastern expansion. Initially, the street was named Pekarska, and later Mayakovskoho. In 1992, it was renamed in honor of Kostya Levytskyi, a Ukrainian political figure and lawyer.
The street’s development predominantly features residential buildings constructed in the styles of Secession, Neoclassicism, and Functionalism. Many of these buildings are recognized as local architectural monuments.
