Established as an eparchy in 1539 and elevated to an archeparchy in 1807, it is led by Archbishop Ihor Vozniak as of 2005. As the head of the [[Ecclesiastical Province of Lviv]], it oversees three suffragan eparchies and is renowned for its role in preserving Ukrainian Greek Catholic traditions during Soviet suppression.
