On November 16, 1784, according to the privilege of Emperor Joseph II, a university with four faculties (theology, law, philosophy and medicine) has been renewed in Lviv.
The oldest campuses of the university are located on Pekarska Street and are mostly built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
