At the beginning of the 20th century many famous buildings were constructed in Chernivtsi such as city hall, the post office, metropolitans residence, Armenian church, dramatic theatre, Justice Palace and the railway station. A masterpiece of the famous architect Jozeph Hlavka (the former residence of Bukovyna metropolitans) is rightly considered to be the most beautiful architectural treasure. Nowadays it is used as the Chernivtsi National University, named after Yuriy Fedkovych who is interred in it and is on the UNESCO World Heritage site list.
The Historic and cultural heritage of Chernivtsi is an integral architectural ensemble of the 17th to 20th centuries.

Franko streets and other single buildings of outstanding merit.
