Zamość
Museums in Zamość
Museums in Zamość cover the town's Renaissance layout, its Jewish heritage and its wartime history within a compact old centre. The restored Zamość Synagogue, now a Synagogue Centre, sits a short walk from the Muzeum Zamojskie, which occupies the arcaded Armenian Houses on the main square. For a sombre counterpoint, the Zamość Rotunda records the martyrdom of the region under occupation. Use this list to pair a walk around the central square with one or two indoor stops, and check each venue's own opening times before you set out, since smaller sites do not always open every day.
