Zamość Fortress, Renaissance fortress in Zamość, Poland
The fortress features seven bastions positioned 200 meters apart, incorporating defensive walls, gates, and an arsenal within its septagonal layout.
Constructed between 1579 and 1618 under Chancellor Jan Zamoyski's direction, the fortress successfully repelled attacks from Cossacks and Swedes during multiple conflicts.
The fortress represents a combination of Italian Renaissance military engineering and Polish defensive architecture, designed by Bernardo Morando in the 16th century.
Visitors can access the fortress walls, bastions, and gates through guided tours that explain the military history and architectural elements.
The fortress remained operational until 1866, surviving eight months of Russian siege in 1813 as the last Polish stronghold during the Napoleonic period.
