Надзвичайно символічний простір у серці Львова. Він поєднує літературну спадщину Кобзаря з історією України й сьогоднішньою національною ідентичністю. Монумент встановлено лише в 1990-х роках, тому він не має глибокої історичної старовини, хоч і символічно вписаний у давні традиції міста. Через зелений наліт на бронзі місцеві кличуть фігуру "жабою", що мені незрозуміло, а стелу - "відкривачкою" за її фактурну, незвичайну форму. Хоча як на мене не схоже.

Lviv was the best trip ever. Ukrainian people are kind and nice. God bless you all.

Nice statue, good music here at the park.
