Greek Orthodox Cathedral on O. Dukhnovyca Street. Originally built as a church for the monastery of the Jesuits in 1646, it became a Greek Catholic Church in 1772, as Church of the Exaltation of the Cross. The Soviet regime was dedicated to liquidating the Greek Catholic Church and placing the church under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow in 1947.
