The part of Opatów situated on the northern side of the Opatówka river is called Żmigród. This is the area of the oldest early medieval settlement. It is the location of e.g.: a pagan place of the Slavic dragon deity (Żmij), a hillfort from the 11th-13th centuries and the first municipal commune. Archaeological research has confirmed the existence of an early-municipal settlement here before the end of the 13th century. In 2016, at the so-called Burgstall, which is a part of Żmigród, a car park covering an area of 35 acres was illegally constructed, destroying part of historic substance of the archaeological site. In 2020, monument preservation services managed to force the owner of the site to close down the car park and caused the further use of the Burgstall area as a square, in a way which would not pose a threat to the archaeological monument.

This article explores the urban elites of Lviv during its autonomous era under Habsburg rule. The elites included not only state and municipal officials but also ‘self-proclaimed’ groups of local patriots, whose main point of reference was their city and maintaining its respectability. The issue of the preservation of secular monuments in the city (mainly the Old Town) is dealt with, as well as the history of selected grassroots associations, like the Society of the Friends of Old Lviv and the Society for the Embellishment of the City of Lviv and Its Surroundings. The author argues that by investigating the institutions which took care of the physical space of the city and its buildings, it is possible to delve into the identity of the elites in question. He further argues that it was not only the imperial and national identity that was reflected in the sources, but also a purely local one, which points to the issue of localness as an important category of research.
