Vision of the Fortress of Zamość from the north.
As one of few Polish towns, Zamość Fortress withstood the siege of Swedish troops during their invasion of Poland in the middle of the 17th century. Military significance caused its fortifications to be developed at the time of the Duchy of Warsaw and the Congress Kingdom of Poland when Zamość became a state fortress.
