A bustling city pauses to pay their respects is an extraordinary sight; when I say pause, I mean it both physically and metaphorically. Mary has a continual stream of visitors and a plethora of flowers and candles at her feet. In most religious places people stop to pray, unlike most religious places this statue is situated between two veins of a main thoroughfare in the center of the city. Most impressive to me were the faithful people that did not stop; I witnessed the majority of those passing on foot and in cars / buses respectfully gazing at the Blessed Virgin and making the signs of the cross.
I know that this is not the original statue, though the real thing to visit / experience here is the people. Buy some flowers for Mary, say a prayer and sit on a nearby bench for a few minutes and have your faith renewed by the people of Lviv.

A country proud of their religious beliefs. Statues of religious figures throughout the city. Virgin Mary, Crucifixion of Christ, Saints. They are also proud of their activist leaders and have numerous statues to them. I saw numerous people making the sign of cross & praying here and the Crucifixion of Christ which is located to the left of her and by the City Garden.

It is situated in the heart of Lviv, close to Opera and Mickiewicz monument. Very nice fountain when you can relax yourself. There are a lot of benches.

The Blessed Virgin Fountain is situated next to the Mitskevych monument in the beginning of Svobody avenue. There are numerous benches in nearby, so it is comfortable to have some rest after walking tours and enjoy the statue of Virgin Maria. Many citizens come here to gift some flowers and to pray. There are many stories about wonders of Virgin Maria and her patronage of people in need. If you need some place for the spiritual and emotional boost - this os the right one.

Very beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary in centre of Lviv. It is a sacred place where locals often stop and pray and posters remind of the victims of the bloody conflict in Eastern Ukraine. It is a beautiful fountain and statue that invites you to stop and consider ones life.

This statue/fountain is a place where many locals come to pray and often has little floral tributes at its foot. It's by a busy roundabout, from here you can take a pleasant stroll along Svobody Prospect all the way to the Opera House.

This is a lovely statue and worth visiting to admire. It is close by many other things to see. A nice place to just sit and enjoy the surroundings.
