Stop B II (Bastion II)
- Directions and description

Bastion II was built before 1605 according to Bernardo Morando’s project and refilled by Andrea dell’Aqua with shoulder casemates and posterns connected with them(1618-1623). Bastion as an indirect creation, on the long piece of straight curtain between bastions I and II took the flattened form, so-called “piatta forma”. In accordance with plans from 1777 and end of XVIII C. at the centre part of the Bastion’s platform a quartered garden existed. During the modernization of fortress in times of Duchy of Warsaw on the foreground there was a bastion-sketched telescope. Mallet-Malletski continued the modernization works in the 20s of 19TH century. Next to the earlier sluice on axle of Bastion a bridge which communicated area behind the berm with roofed way to Rotunda appeared. During the liquidation of the fortress in 1867 bastion was partly demolished – its front was blasted, leaving – in different state of preservation – the shoulder casemates, part of the posterns and not big fragments of walls. Measurement of preserved fragments was done by J. Zachwatowicz in the 30s of XX C. Bastion which, at its big time, was not so big and relatively flat – after demolition of the front and filled foundations, has become illegible. Its reconstruction was included in the project: “Zamość UNESCO’s town, memorial of history of Republic of Poland as a touristic product of Polish economy”. In 2011 foundations in very good condition was unveiled, which allowed to reconstruct the escarpment walls, and shoulders. Patency of the old posterns took place – today the pedestrian track crosswise the bastion, which was connected with the entrance poster. In this way the next element of the underground touristic route was made in Zamość.
