Zamosc Vacation Packages

Zamosc is best-known for its Old Town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the best-preserved examples of a Renaissance town in Europe, and one of the few outside modern-day Italy to survive to the present day. The Zamosc Fortress encases the Old Town, which features three points of entry in and out. In the middle of the Old Town there is Great Market Square, which was designed by the town's original architect, Bernardo Morando. Also located on the square are colorful old tenement houses called the 'Armenian houses', due to the fact that many of the merchants in the city many centuries ago were Armenian and lived in them. Once one of the largest Hasidic Jewish communities in Poland, Jewish life in today's Zamosc revolves around the UNESCO-recognized Zamosc Old Synagogue, which surprisingly was spared from destruction in World War II.
