"Polskie Carcassonne" - średniowieczne miasto Szydłów

'Polish Carcassonne' - the medieval town of Szydłów is a unique place where history comes alive at your fingertips. Preserved 14th-century defensive walls made of local limestone stretch for 1,080 meters, surrounding the picturesque medieval town.

A 14th-century castle with a museum, a 16th-century synagogue - one of the oldest in Poland - and an unusual Torture Chamber with an exhibition of medieval tools await discovery in Szydłów.

The annual Plum Festival is an excellent opportunity to learn about local culture and taste regional delicacies. Picturesque walking and biking trails allow you to discover the beauty of the surrounding landscapes.
