Despite its stunning beauty, its quite rare to find foreign tourists in the small, eastern, Polish city of Zamosc. Thus, it was interesting to see the group of Italian tourists above receiving some kind of speech outside the Jewish synagogue near the Rynek in Zamosc city centre.
I guess that Zamosc may attract such tourists from time to time due to its Italian connection. Regarding this, I've just read that Jan Zamoyski invited the Venetian Bernardo Morando, who had moved to Poland in 1569, to design Zamosc as an ideal Renaissance city in 1578 which was mainly completed by 1598.
Have also just read that after Morando died in 1600, his successor Andrea dell' Aqua designed such buildings as the Fortress and Collegiate Church in Zamosc.
