Pułtusk, Medieval city in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland

The town spans along the Narew River banks, featuring a central marketplace that extends for 380 meters through the historical district.

Pułtusk received its city rights in 1257 from Duke Siemowit I of Masovia, establishing itself as a crucial economic center for trade routes.

The Pułtusk Academy, founded in 1440, became a primary educational institution in the Polish Kingdom, producing numerous scholars and intellectuals.

The central marketplace serves as the main commercial area, connecting the town hall with various merchant buildings and traditional Polish restaurants.

In 1868, Pułtusk experienced the largest documented meteorite shower in Europe, with thousands of stones falling across the surrounding fields.
