The main façade of the Cathedral with its splendid portal and figures of Saints Athanasius and Lev Sheptytsky - high clergymen to whom the cathedral owes its existence.
The attic above the portal is topped by a sculptural group of St. George Slaying the Dragon, by artist Jan Pinsel. This is one of the best examples of 18th century Lviv sculpture.
