Tatary, Residential district in eastern Lublin, Poland.
Tatary is a residential district in eastern Lublin stretching along Łęczyńska Street with a mix of apartment buildings and former industrial structures. The area sits near the Bystrzyca River valley, which has shaped its landscape and development over time.
The district was founded in the early 15th century when Tatar settlers established themselves here under King Władysław Jagiełło. By the 16th century, stone quarries granted by King Sigismund I began driving the area's industrial transformation.
The district takes its name from Tatar settlers who established roots here and left their mark on the local community. Today this heritage is visible in street names and how residents connect to their neighborhood.
The district is well connected to central Lublin by multiple bus routes, making it easy for commuters and visitors to reach the area. Its location near the river makes the neighborhood straightforward to explore on foot and discover at a relaxed pace.
Historic stone quarries still shape the landscape today and mark the area's industrial past. Visitors can spot traces of this extraction work in certain areas, where the terrain bears the marks of past mining activity.
