This selection includes the formidable bastion fortifications, the 16th-century Zamoyski Palace, and the monumental Cathedral. Visitors can explore a mix of religious and secular history through the Great Synagogue, the Zamoyski Academy, and the ornate merchant houses that define the city's unique architectural character.
