Lublin is one of the largest cities in Poland and the largest in the area east of the Wisła River. Historically, Lublin is a city that flourished through trade after the Polish-Lithuanian Union in 1385, when the city was elevated to be strategically located on the trade routes between Vilnius in the north and Kraków in the south. Lublin’s citizens even enjoyed free trade as a privilege in the Grand Duchy.
Over the years, Lublin became an increasingly important city in culture, education and religion as well. There was a time when Lublin was a royal city, and the city’s nobility participated in the Polish royal elections for that reason. The kingdom’s so-called crown tribunal was also located in the city, and it was also here that the Union of Lublin was adopted. It took place in 1569, and its result was the establishment of the Polish-Lithuanian federated state.
Today, Lublin remains the regional capital of culture, and there are many sights and attractions in the city. As in most other large Polish cities, the Rynek market square forms the center of the city, and there is always a nice atmosphere here. In the square you can see the historic Crown Tribunal, and from here you can explore the cozy streets of the old town, which are some of the city’s greatest attractions.
In the southern part of the center stands the Lublin Cathedral, which is a beautiful ensemble together with buildings where you can visit the Museum of the Archdiocese of Lublin. The cathedral itself has a particularly refined ornate interior and is one of the city’s architectural highlights. The Dominican church is close by, and a little to the north you can see the outlines of the demolished St. Michael’s Church on the square Plac Po Farze.
From the old center, the main thoroughfare Krakowskie Przedmieście leaves to the west, and the pedestrian street opens into the large and beautifully landscaped square, Plac Litewski, where the mansion Pałac Lubomirskich is located. The Lublin Castle is to the northeast, and it is where you can visit the castle church and the Lublin National Museum with interesting collections within art, ethnography and archaeology.
Warsaw or Warszawa is the capital of Poland and one of Eastern Europe’s great and historic capitals, and not many places like this city have experienced so turbulent times. In recent centuries, Warsaw has undergone several divisions and takeovers of power in Poland, and more recently about 85% of Warsaw was destroyed during World War II.
Time and again, the city has been rebuilt, and today the many beautiful buildings of historic Warsaw stand again in their original and noble exterior. The major investment in new construction in recent decades has provided a further dimension with a great architectural mix where the historical and new meet.
Radom is one of Poland’s largest cities, and it is in the area south of the capital Warsaw. Radom developed as a settlement in the Middle Ages and obtained city rights in 1364. The town grew rapidly with the construction of a town hall, a royal residence and city walls. Many kings visited the city, which was venue for several political decisions such as nihil novi in 1505, which took place at the city castle. However, the period of growth came to an end with Sweden’s invasion in 1655.
Today there are several interesting sights in Radom. You can start with a stroll in the old part of town, where the market square Rynek forms the center of Radom. In the square you can see the city’s town hall from 1848, a monument to the Polish legions formed during the First World War, and you can visit the Jacek Malczewski Museum, which exhibits various art, archeology and natural sciences.
