Radom Attractions in the area

WE ARE GETTTING TO KNOW THE MEDIEVAL RADOM - one-day trip Radom is one of the oldest Polish cities, which existed before the ninth century. The early medieval gord ‘Piotrówka’ was preserved with a 6 meters high earth embankment. The Old Town, within the former defensive walls, has preserved its medieval, fourteenth-century street layout in an unchanged form. We can visit the Parish church of St. John with a Renaissance chapel or the 15th century church and Bernardine monastery in a baroque style. In the modern city center, shaped in the early nineteenth century, there is a number of classicistic public buildings. There is also the Museum with a valuable collection of Polish paintings, including works of Jacek Malczewski. The tour route runs through: ‘Piotrówka’ gord from the 9th/10th century, recognized as the cradle of today's Radom, a remnant of the Radom castellany; at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries a burial cemetery for old and new Radom. The name comes from the first Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Peter (9th/10th century). Currently a monument - an erratic boulder with the image of Mieszko I and the first emblem of the Polish State, referring to the beginnings of the formation of the state. The Old Town with the first bricked 13th century Roman Catholic church dedicated to St. Wacław - the oldest architectural monument of Radom, built from the foundation of Leszek the White, and salaried, as tradition passes, by Prince Bolesław V the Chaste, a silent witness of granting the ‘middle’ city law around 1300. This church was the parish church of ‘Old Radom’, and from 1802 a warehouse, a prison, and even a department of a psychiatric hospital. After numerous reconstructions, the church was restored in 1980-1985 under the direction of prof. Wiktor Zin and restored to the eternal function. There is also a mysterious stone tombstone with a sword relief and paintings, stained glass windows, wall paintings, interesting chandeliers and candelabra with the image of the Polish emblem, referring to the history of Poland. The New Casimir Town- was founded on the ‘raw root’ during the reign of King Casimir the Great around 1340; located around 1350, and from 1364 on Magdeburg rights. It had three gates: Lubelska, Piotrkowska and Krakowska.
