Zamosc is unquestionably one of the most beautiful cities in eastern Poland.

No wonder that every year real crowds flock here wanting to discover what Zamość tourist attractions has prepared for its visitors. And there is plenty to choose from!
The city's main square, and a must-see for every tourist, is the Rynek Wielki. Its nickname is no coincidence: the square's dimensions of 100 x 100 meters make it one of the largest markets in Europe. The market is bustling all year round, and in the summer season it practically stays awake! It houses many restaurants, cafes and pubs. A landmark in the Grand Market is the City Hall with its pink facade. It was built between 1639 and 1651 and is considered a masterpiece of Mannerist-Baroque architecture. Characteristic features of the building are the sweeping staircase and centrally located clock tower. Another landmark of the Market Square are the Armenian townhouses - with ornate facades in distinctive colors, located to the right of the Town Hall.
The Water Market, which features an illuminated fountain, is much smaller in size.
At the Great Market Square, in the Armenian townhouses, is the Zamojskie Museum, where one can admire exhibits related to the region's history and ethnographic legacy. Other museum facilities in Zamosc include: The Arsenal Museum of Fortifications and Weapons and the Multimedia Museum of the History of the Jews of Zamosc and the Surrounding Area. Zamosc also boasts impressive churches, including the Cathedral of the Resurrection and St. Thomas the Apostle, the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation and a synagogue open to the public. The cathedral is considered one of the most impressive Renaissance churches in Poland. It was built in 1587-1600 as a votive offering in thanksgiving for the military successes of Hetman Jan Zamoyski.

Zamość owes a lot to the Zamoyski family, and one of the key figures in the history of the city was Hetman Jan Zamoyski - the founder of Zamość.

The Italian also designed Zamość Cathedral.
