Why Lychakiv Cemetery matters
Lychakiv is a quiet, shady cemetery that many consider an open-air museum. Winding paths take you past sculpted tombs, chapels and the graves of writers, artists and public figures from Ukraine, Poland and beyond. It was laid out in the late 18th century and tells much of the city's complicated history. Visit respectfully.
