Old City of Zamość, Renaissance old town in Zamość, Poland
The historic district exhibits a systematic hexagonal layout with three main squares, incorporating Italian Renaissance architecture with Eastern European building elements.
Chancellor Jan Zamoyski established this fortified settlement in 1580, commissioning Italian architect Bernardo Morando to design the city following Renaissance urban principles.
The central market square contains multicolored merchant houses with detailed decorative elements, reflecting the architectural traditions of both Italian and local craftsmen.
The preserved fortification walls encircle 75 hectares of the old town, containing 200 historical structures connected by pedestrian-friendly streets and passages.
The Zamość town hall features a 52-meter tower with a double staircase, combining Mannerist architecture with mathematical precision in its measurements.
