    Palace Krzyztopor in Ujazd. You'll stare at these ruins of once magnificent aristocratic residence for hours and you still won't be able to believe their size. This palace is a very interesting object. It used to be the BIGGEST RESIDENCE in Europe until the Versailles in Paris supressed it. The ruins are astonishing and a little bit spooky at the same time. The Osolinski family used to own the palace. Like many aristocratic families the Osolinski family had a strange design in mind when they commisioned the place. The palace has 4 TOWERS FOR 4 SEASONS, 12 HUGE HALLS FOR 12 MONTHS, 52 ROOMS FOR EACH WEEK AND YEAH, YOU GET THE PATTERN 365 WINDOWS FOR THAT SAME NUMBER OF DAYS IN THE YEAR.

    Piatek (meaning Friday). This town marks the exact CENTER OF POLAND. Actually the exact center is marked by the stone monument (in the picture) outside the city center. The picture is not very clear because it was taken while driving. Also the date in the bottom right corner is wrong. The clock in the camera wasn't set right. The picture was really taken in August 2001.

    Poland is a home to thousands of castles. Some are in ruin (picture, Bobolice Castle) and some are still magnificent examples of architecture.

    Sandomierz is one of Poland's most picturesque little towns. Actually, in the 12 century, Sandomierz was one of Poland's most important commercial centers. It's nice to admire Sandomierz from the river side since the town is situated on a hill.

    Smielow Palace. This is a neo-classical palace dating back to 1800. Inside there is a museum detailing the life of Poland's most famous Romantic poet Adam Mickiewicz. Mickiewicz featured the Smielow area in his most famous work 'Pan Tadeusz.'

    Zamek Czorsztyn (Czorsztyn Castle) is situated across Niedzica Castle in the Pieniny Mountains. The ruins look scary and impressive at the same time. There are more 'LESS KNOWN CASTLES OF POLAND' in the traveloque!
