Lomza attractions for visitors

Lomza is a medium-sized city located on the Narew River, in Podlaskie Voivodeship. It is about 80 km from Bialystok, the capital of the region. More than 60,000 people live here, which places Lomza on the podium of the most populous towns in Podlaskie Voivodeship. In the past, the town was the capital of Lomza Land and hosted Lomza Land Sejmiks from the 16th century until the first half of the 18th century, as well as a royal town of the Polish Crown in the Masovian Voivodeship. Until the end of 1998, Lomza was the capital of Lomza Voivodeship.

The city's rich history means that tourists visiting Lomza cannot complain of boredom. The Old Town, located on the left bank of the Narew River, has rectangular streets, which is typical of medieval urban planning. This arrangement, despite the winds of history, has survived to this day, and the aforementioned rectangle is marked out by Dworna, Krótka, Szkolna and Krzywe Koło streets.

On the Old Town Square itself you will find first of all the Town Hall. It is a classicist building from the 19th century. In the past the building stood in the center of the market, but due to the damage it was demolished and moved to the eastern part of the market. The square is surrounded by tenement houses with arcades. The corners of the square are lined with streets, one of which is Farna Street. There is a promenade leading to the church of St. Michael the Archangel, which is in the rank of the cathedral. Walking along the promenade, we can come across a bench of Hanka Bielicka. It is a sculpture cast in bronze depicting the famous film and theater actress, who comes from Lomza. At the end we come to the already mentioned St. Michael Archangel Church. It is a late Gothic construction from around 1526. Inside there is a very valuable painting of the Virgin Mary with Child from the 16th century. Interestingly, in 1991 Pope John Paul II coronated it. The important sacral objects on the map of Lomza are also: the church and monastery of the Capuchins, the neoclassical Bishop's Palace, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (former garrison church) and the monastery complex of the Benedictines. Benedictine nuns. The list of secular tourist attractions includes the building of the District Court, the historic building of the T. Kosciuszko High School, the Main Post Office and the historic branch of Santander Bank.
