We came to Zamość. We left our car in the parking lot next to the zoo and went for a walk toward the old market square. To get there we went along the walls of the Zamość Fortress. We walked through the Szczebrzeska Gate. The walls are beautifully restored thanks to an EU grant. Next, we walked past the Cathedral and a monument of Hetman Jan Zamoyski on horseback. After a while, we disappeared into a small street leading to the market square where there is a historic town hall with beautiful staircase.
During the summer in the Old Town, as well as in Poznan, there were plenty of beer gardens. On the market square terrace, we came across a military demonstration by a reenactment group dressed in historical costumes of Polish infantry. They presented firearms and fired several volleys into the air. It’s rare to see such old guns up close. The most interested one was Justine. They also showed a duel with sabers.
We were there only for a while; it was our pit stop on the road trip. We wanted to explore Zamosc Zoo, so we moved in that direction.
