The Royal Castle in Sandomierz is one of the most important historical buildings in the city, located on a slope above the Vistula River. It was built in the 14th century on the initiative of Casimir the Great and for centuries served as a royal residence and the seat of starosts. In the 17th century it was partially destroyed by the Swedes and later transformed into a prison, which operated until the 1950s. Currently, it houses the District Museum, where you can see exhibitions on the history of Sandomierz, art and archaeology. From the castle hill there is a beautiful view of the Vistula and the city, which makes this place an attractive point on the tourist route.

The Market Square in Sandomierz – a rectangular square (110×120 m) located in the center of the old town of Sandomierz. The following streets lead out of the market square: Opatowska from Oleśnicka, Sokolnickiego from Długosza, Mariacka from Krótka and Zamkowa from Bulińskiego. The market square is sloping (height difference up to 15 m). The central part of the square (almost in the middle of the Market Square) is occupied by the Gothic town hall (No. 1), next to which there is a statue of the Virgin Mary and a municipal well. In the western frontage of the market square, three historic buildings stand out: Kamienica pod Skrzydłami (No. 4) with a Renaissance portal, Konkwit Boboli (No. 5) and Kamienica Oleśnickich (No. 10) with arcades, in the northern so-called The Gomółka Tenement House (No. 14), and in the southern part the Lazarczyk House (No. 27) with arcades and the Dutreppich Tenement House (No. 31) There are cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops and numerous art galleries around the Market Square. In the southwestern corner of the market square, a huge anchor with a chain standing upwards, symbolically reaching towards the sky was placed[2]. In 2018, 16 glass benches commemorating figures from Polish cinematography were placed on the Market Square. Tourist trails branch off from the market square and then Krótka Street, including the yellow one to Leżajsk[3]. Since 1977, the Underground Tourist Route has been available to visitors, consisting of rooms located, among others, under the Market Square and buildings at the Market Square.

Royal castle erected on the Vistula escarpment in Sandomierz - the original walls were built in the 14th century during the reign of Casimir III the Great. In the 16th century, during the reign of King Sigismund I the Old, the castle was dismantled, seriously modernized and expanded. During the Swedish Deluge in the 17th century, the castle was almost completely ruined by being blown up. Only the western wing survived, which is the only remnant of its former glory.
