From April 29 to May 5, 1900 an outstanding Polish writer, the author of the The Crusaders and With Fire and Sword, Henryk Sienkiewicz visited Lviv. That event became one of the most noticeable in the public life of Lviv and one of the most remarkable ones for the Polish part of Lvivites.
In 1905 it was the shah's third visit to Lviv. Since Lviv didn't often receive such high-ranking guests, the visit became one of the most important events for local authorities.
