Cemetery of the Defenders of Lwow

This cemetery contains the graves of about 3000 Polish soldiers, 3 American pilots and one French soldier who fell in the battles for Lwow (now Lviv) in the period 1918-1920. The cemetery was completely destroyed by the communist authorities in the 70's and after years of neglect, the war cemetery was fully restored and reopened in 2005. The reconstruction and official opening represents a major improvement in Polish-Ukrainian relations.
