Ancient maps remain understudied documents that contain specific spatial information about the state of the mapped territory. One such document is Rudolf Ritter von Otto's 1772 map, specifically its sheet (Litt: I. No: 9), which depicts the city of Lviv and its surroundings. This map has served and will continue to serve as an object of interdisciplinary research by historians, geographers, architects, and urban planners.

The article analyzes the plan of the city of Lviv by Jean Doetsch from 1770 - one of the first cartographic sources to the history of the city. The significance of the plan for the scientific reconstruction of the state of the architectural and town-planning structures of the city for the second half of the 18th century is revealed. The hypothesis that the map was made for educational and military purposes is substantiated.

The palaces of the romantic style, built in the Lviv region in the XIX - early twentieth century, included a number of architectural and landscape elements that created a unique and harmonious ensemble. Today, practically there are no objects that completely preserved their original appearance. Architectural and landscape-compositional features of such ensembles remain undervalued and require professional attention. It is important to analyze their current function to determine the prospects for their further use, restoration and rational conservation.
