What to say about Zamość? It is a wonderful and historic city. It was founded in 1580 by Jan Zamoyski, chancellor and hetman (military leader). It was on a trade route linking the Black Sea with northern and western Europe. The city was designed as a Renaissance town, and maintains a lot of that character. You can see that in my pictures here: http://poland.leonkonieczny.com/Albums/Poland%202011/Zamość/index.html.
At one time the central city was a walled fortress, but years of war have removed most of that. Still, it has many historic features and is well worth your time visiting. You can read more about the city of Zamość here, and a bit about the fortress that Zamość used to be here. Take a look, learn a bit of history, learn a bit about the Zamoyski family that played a big part in the history of Poland, and enjoy! I hope you enjoy my pictures!
