Located on a trade route to Lithuania and Russia, Lublin was already an important center by the time it received its municipal charter in 1317. The city still remains relatively unknown to foreign tourists. From the original defense walls and the Krakow Gate, the remnant of Lublin's medieval wall system to the town hall and the Renaissance burgher houses in the Market Square, Lublin offers numerous visual delights. The Dominican Church, with its exquisite Firlej Chapel, is a
must-see for every visitor. The same stands true for the remains of the Gothic Royal Castle, with its late 14th century Holy Trinity Chapel housing one of the finest examples of medieval Byzantine-style polychromes in Europe. Lublin is a renowned academic center with its Maria Curie-Sklodowska University and Academy of Medicine. Lublin Catholic University, where pope John Paul II once taught, was established in 1918 and operated continuously throughout the post-war era. Areas outside of Lublin contain many points of interest as well. An ethnographic park offers a fascinaitng trip through time. Kazimierz Dolny is a picturesque town long favored by artists and writers, and Zamosc, a delightful Renaissance city, is a registered world class heritage location. |
