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.
