Rotunda Zamość, Historical defense building and memorial museum in Zamość, Poland.
The circular structure measures 54 meters in diameter and contains 19 cells arranged around a central courtyard of 38.5 meters in diameter.
General Jean-Baptiste Mallet de Grandville designed this fortification between 1825 and 1831 as part of the Zamość Fortress military complex.
The museum displays photographs, documents, and personal items from prisoners who were held at the site during the German occupation of Poland.
The memorial site opens daily for visitors to explore the cells, examine the exhibition areas, and pay respects at the surrounding cemetery.
The facility's original German prison gate remains intact, marking the entrance where an estimated 50,000 individuals passed through during World War II.
