In the picture there is the Market Square in Zamość. Zamość was founded in the 16th century by the chancellor Jan Zamoysky on the trade route linking western and northern Europe with the Black Sea. The Old City of Zamość is an outstanding example of a late 16th-century Central European town designed and built in accordance with Italian Renaissance theories on the creation of “ideal” cities. The Old City was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992.

This card is amazing :-). In the background you can see the Notre-Dame Cathedral. Construction of the building began in 1163 during the reign of Louis VI. During 1250–1345 remaining elements of the cathedral were completed. The cathedral is widely considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture, and it is among the largest and most well-known church buildings in the world. The naturalism of its sculptures and stained glass serve to contrast it with earlier Romanesque architecture.
