Sambir is a town with a population of about 35 thousand people located in Lviv Oblast, about 75 km southwest of Lviv. This is one of the tourist centers of the region with a number of architectural monuments.

For example, it is worth mentioning the Greek Catholic Church of Theotokos, built in the Baroque style in 1728-1738. There are two relics kept in this church – the Sambir miraculous icon of the Most Holy Theotokos and parts of the relics of St. Valentine, the legendary patron of lovers. Sambir on Google Maps.
