The Latin (Catholic) Cathedral

In the 17th century with the Turkish army with their allies the Cossacks stormed the town of Lviv. The battle at Lviv was to settle the fate of the Polish Crown. During one of the assaults a cannon ball flew over the city-walls and broke a stained-glass window in the Catholic cathedral. It landed by the alter but never exploded. People viewed this a miracle and soon the cannon ball was hung on one of the cathedral walls. Lviv thanked the general that assaulted them by naming one of its streets after him, Hetman Doroshenko. The Latin Cathedral is located on Cathedral Square and was built in the 14th and 15th centuries by the order of King Kazimierz the Great. There is a memorial plague that commemorates the visit from Pope John Paul II on the outside of the Church.
