Staryi Rynok Square (Ukrainian: Площа Старий Ринок, romanized: Ploshcha Staryi Rynok, Polish: Stary Rynek we Lwowie) is a square in Lviv, Ukraine. It is located north of the Market Square, along Bohdan Khmelnytsky street, in the vicinity of St. Nicholas Church. The area in which the square is situated constituted the town center during the earliest period of Lviv's history, when it was part of the Galician-Volhynian state.[1][2]
