St. Joseph's Church in Sandomierz

Highlight • Religious Site

The temple was built by the Reformed Franciscans who came to Sandomierz in 1672, where they started their pastoral activity with the approval of Andrzej Trzebnicki, the bishop of Kraków. The church was consecrated on October 24, 1690 by Bishop Stanisław Szembek, a Cracow suffragan. The founders were: Aleksander Lubomirski, starost of Sandomierz and voivode of Kraków, Jan Kurdwanowski, judge of the town, Piotr Opocki, castellan of Wiślicki and Marcin Dębicki, chamberlain of Sandomierz.

Many of the nobility, townspeople and peasants also contributed to the construction of the temple with their sacrifices. a two-bay chancel, a three-bay nave. On the south side there is a three-wing monastery (today's Retreat House), and on the west side - a courtyard surrounded by a wall with chapels where the Stations of the Cross used to be.

Sandomierz Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

On this beautiful and vast paved square, we like to take photos in front of the town hall. This ancient fortress, flanked by its white tower, dates from the Gothic era. Much of the rest of the city dates from the same period. You will find many 14th century houses in the old part of the city.

Sandomierz has a rich architectural heritage and is one of the oldest towns in Poland.

Opatowska Gate

Highlight • Monument

The Opatower Gate was built by Casimir the Great in the 14th century as part of the city fortifications. In addition, Sandomir had three other city gates: the Kraków, Lublin and Zawichoster city gates, as well as two smaller entrances, of which the Dominican gate is still preserved. In the 16th century, the Gothic gate was given a Renaissance-style attic, donated by the town doctor Stanisława Bartolona. The city gate has survived unchanged in this form. During the January Uprising, on February 8, 1863, a battle between insurgents and Russian Cossacks took place at the gate. From the gate there is a wide view over the city and the Sandomier Basin (Wikipedia).

A place I had been planning to visit with my family for a long time, but it never happened. This time I did, and it was really nice, but I don't think it's a place I'd like to return to often, unlike Kazimierz nad Wisłą, for example.
