On a Monday morning in December, there is a chance for less crowds. Overall, a cult place. A strong hit on a market day. A must 🔥🔥🔥

The market square in Kazimierz Dolny was marked out after the city was founded under Magdeburg law in 1406. It is the central urban point of the city, with an open view of the parish church and the castle ruins. The market square has retained its historical layout with a characteristic undeveloped northern part of the square. For centuries, it has served a commercial and social function. It is currently the tourist heart of Kazimierz, surrounded by historic tenement houses, including Przybyłów, Celejowska and Czarnotów. In its center stands a historic well from the 19th century, one of the symbols of the city.

The historic well in the Market Square in Kazimierz Dolny is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city. It was built in the 19th century as a street fountain, and in 1913 the architect Jan Koszczyc-Witkiewicz gave it its current appearance - a wooden casing with a characteristic roof and a pazdur. In later years, the well was modernized: an Abyssinian pump was installed, and in the 1980s a new cast iron pump and lighting. The last renovation was carried out in 2012. According to local legend, whoever drinks water from the well will always return to Kazimierz. The water is suitable for drinking and washing fruit bought at the local market. Similar wells are also located in the corner of the Market Square, on Krakowska and Lubelska streets.

The Church of St. Anne and the Holy Spirit is a historic branch church belonging to the parish of St. John the Baptist and St. Bartholomew. The construction of the church began in 1649, but was not completed until 1671 due to the interruption caused by the "Swedish Deluge". It was erected on the site of the previous chapel of the Holy Spirit. The church represents the Lublin Renaissance style. It has one nave, a semicircular presbytery with a sacristy and vaulted basements. The walls are made of limestone and brick, and characteristic architectural elements include decorative pilasters, pinnacle pinnacles and a bell tower. The interior is decorated with a barrel vault with lunettes and stucco, but the 17th-century equipment was disfigured over time by repainting. Next to the church is a former hospital building, the beginnings of which date back to 1530. The building was expanded in the 17th century, especially after the plague of 1625. Restored after World War II, in the years 1953–1957 it was transformed into a Cultural Center and library.

The Radio Lines Station Tower in Kazimierz Dolny at ul. Góry I 46 was launched in 1962 as an element of radio communication between Boży Dar and Warsaw. The 91 m above sea level facility, located at an altitude of 210 m above sea level, enabled the retransmission of nationwide radio and television programs in the Lublin region. Since 1995, TVP1 and TVP2 programs were broadcast from here, and later local TVP Lublin programs (until 2013). In the years 1996–2009, it was also used by Radio Lublin.
