Sandomierz, Medieval municipality on seven hills in Świętokrzyskie, Poland.
Sandomierz is a municipality in southeastern Poland that spreads over several hills along the Vistula riverbank and is shaped by medieval urban structure. The old town consists of interlocking lanes, historic churches, and a central square surrounded by townhouses with colored facades.
The town received city rights in the 13th century and grew wealthy through trade between northern and southern regions. Later wars and partitions of Poland changed the importance of the place, but the urban layout remained largely intact.
The medieval market square still holds its original cobblestones, where residents gather for the weekly market. The architecture in the center shows different eras, from Gothic gables to Renaissance facades, which shape the townscape and connect through narrow alleys.
The old town is easy to explore on foot, and most buildings lie close together on hilly terrain. Underground passages are lit and accessible, but can be slippery in damp conditions.
Below the Rynek lie branching vaulted cellars that once served merchants as storage rooms and are now walkable. These chambers connect through narrow passages, giving the feeling of a hidden city beneath the surface.
