монастир кармелітів черевичкових

Relevance of the topic: In the heart of Lviv, there is a preserved 17th-century building — a monastery with cells, three stories high with basements, which is not listed as an architectural monument. The historic building has not been the subject of scientific architectural study. There are no measurements of the object. The cell building was part of a large complex of buildings belonging to the former Catholic monastery of the Shoed Carmelite Order in the city of Lviv.

The object of study is the complex of the Carmelite monastery with the Church of St. Leonard in Lviv. Construction of the complex began in the first half of the 17th century (from 1624) according to the design of Italian architect Ambrose Prikhilny. From the very beginning, the monastery was surrounded by fortifications. The complex was located in the Galician suburbs and was supposed to be a key element of the city's defense system on the southern side.
