Photographer’s Note

I will come back again to uploading photos from my trip to Portugal, but today for a change I decided to show you a beautiful Renaissance town hall from Sandomierz, Poland.

Sandomierz is a city in south-eastern Poland with 25,714 inhabitants (2006). The name of the city comes from Old Polish Sędomir, composed of Sędzi- (from the verb sądzić "to judge") and mir ("peace"). Sandomierz is one of the oldest and historically most significant cities in Poland. Archeological finds around the city indicate that humans inhabited the area since neolithic times. The city came into existence in the early Middle Ages, taking advantage of an excellent location at the junction of Vistula and San rivers, and on the path of important trade routes. The first known historical mention of the city comes from the early 12th century, when the chronicler Gallus Anonymus ranked it together with Kraków and Wrocław as one of the main cities of Poland.
