Day 1

University heritage

Chernivtsi

  1. 1

    Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans

    Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans is significant within Bukovyna because it is a nineteenth-century architectural ensemble now forming part of Chernivtsi National University. The main points of interest are Metropolitans’ Residence, ornamented brick and tile work, and formal courtyards and gardens. Together, these features help place the site within the wider history and landscape of Chernivtsi and its region, rather than reducing it to a single photograph. Its cultural value remains relevant for future regional planning, while any actual journey must be considered separately against current wartime access, security conditions and official travel advice.
