There are works by artists of the Vienna Secession, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco styles.  The buildings have many stone sculptures and carvings, particularly on large doors, hundreds of years old. The remains of old churches dot the central cityscape. Some three- to five-storey buildings have hidden inner courtyards and grottoes in various states of repair. Leaving the central area, the architectural style changes radically as Soviet-era high-rise blocks dominate. In the centre, the Soviet era is reflected mainly in a few modern-style national monuments and sculptures.In the 1360 not far from city marketplace was establishedRoman-Catholic cathedral the building of it was headed by Peter Shteher.
