History of Lublin (region)

The Lublin region was the golden gate to the east where routes from the orient met the roads of the west. Merchants brought spices and silk to white stone markets of the **Renaissance** towns that rose along the river. This rich past is the star of an **eastern Poland nature drive** where the wild woods of **Roztocze** hide the ruins of the **17th century** Zamoyski estate. In the year **1580**, a grand lord named Jan Zamoyski built a "perfect city" in the fields and called it **Zamość**. He hired an Italian architect to carve stone arches and paint the town in bright colors to rival the beauty of Padua. This city of light stood as a shield for the nation, surviving a massive siege by the **Swedish** army in **1656**. The deep forests of the region became a sanctuary for rare wild horses and white storks that have nested here for centuries. You can visit the **Janów Podlaski** stud farm, founded in **1817**, to see some of the most expensive Arabian horses in the world. It is a land of peace where the white limestone hills and slow green rivers tell a story of a world that refuses to rush.
