Ivano-Frankivsk

Ukraine

Ivano-Frankivsk (Ukrainian: Івано-Франківськ, [iˈβ̞ɑno frɑnˈkifsʲk]) (formerly in Polish: Stanisławów, German: Stanislau) is a city in the Ukrainian part of East Galicia.

It was built in the mid-17th century as a private fortress of the Potocki family. With the partition of Poland in 1772, Ivano-Frankivsk was passed to the Habsburg Empire, after which it became the property of the State authorities of the Austrian Empire. It was during that time that the fortress was transformed into one of the most prominent cities at the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. After World War I, for a short stint it served as temporary capital of the West Ukrainian People's Republic, after the fall of which Stanisławów became part of the Second Polish Republic. At the dawn of World War II, the city was annexed by the Soviet Union, only to be occupied by Nazi Germany two years later. With the liberation of Ukraine in 1944, a Soviet regime was established in the city for the next 45 years. A city visitor may find elements of various cultures intertwined within Ivano-Frankivsk, the Polish Rathaus, the Austrian city's business center, the Soviet panel multi-storied residential apartment buildings at the city's urban-rural fringe, and others.

The city is in the Carpathian region northeast of the mountain range, sitting approximately 120 m above mean sea level.

The climate is moderate continental with warm summers (in Jul the record high 37.1°C), and fairly cold winters (in dec the record low−35.7°C). There are 60 snowy days per year.
