ZAMOSC, a World Heritage City by gosiaPL
The old town in Zamosc is often called the pearl of European Renaissance .Its layout with the 120 monuments of architecture has been enlisted by UNESCO as an example of World Heritage.
The town was founded in late 16th c. by Jan Zamoyski, the great chancellor and crown marshall (hetman) of Poland. It was designed to be a "citta ideale" by an Italian architect, Bernardo Morando, and perhaps that is why Zamosc is often compared to towns in Tuscany (well, in fact the whole region is called "the Polish Tuscany" for its landscapes).
It is a must! Check some samples of Zamosc architecture in the town's picture gallery.
Zamosc is about 90km (less than 60m) south-east from Lublin, easy to get to by train.
