Zagórz Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites The ruins of the monumental 18th-century late Baroque church and monastery of the Discalced Carmelites in Zagórze are a unique stronghold of the Carmelite order, located in the Podkarpackie province, on the Mariemont hill (345 m above sea level), in the bend of the Osława river. It is one of the few preserved fortified monasteries in Poland and in the former lands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Discalced Carmelite monastery in Zagórze was founded by the voivode of Volhynia, Jan Adam Stadnicki. Construction lasted 30 years - it began on August 7, 1700 and ended in 1730. The complex included the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the monastery and farm buildings, surrounded by five-meter defensive walls. To the north was a representative entrance gate, and to the east a hospital-shelter for noble war veterans, in accordance with the founder's will. The church was distinguished by its octagonal main nave, two side chapels and an altar on the western side. Built of yellow sandstone and brick, it resembled the later Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites Stella Maris on Mount Carmel. Despite the outdated fortification concept, the monastery reflected the economic revival of the Republic at the end of the reign of John III Sobieski. The building was a gift from the Stadnicki family to the Carmelite order. The Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites in Zagórze experienced its golden age until the first partition of the Republic. During the Bar Confederation, it provided shelter for its soldiers. On November 29, 1772, during the siege by Russian troops under the command of General Ivan Drewicz, the monastery was shelled with cannons, which led to the partial burning of the buildings. The defense of the monastery in Zagórze was the last battle of the Bar Confederation.

Przemyśl - Kazimierzowski Castle - Lubomirski Palace Kazimierzowski Castle The Kazimierzowski Castle in Przemyśl, located on Castle Hill at an altitude of 270 m above sea level, is a Renaissance building with a rich history. The first brick structure was built after 1340 on the initiative of Casimir the Great, replacing an earlier wooden and earth castle. Already at the beginning of the 11th century, Bolesław the Brave built a brick Romanesque rotunda and a palatium here. The Gothic castle of Casimir the Great has survived to this day only in the form of a pointed arch entrance gate. In 1498, the castle suffered as a result of the invasion of the Vlachs. The castle was expanded and strengthened in the years 1514-1553 thanks to the efforts of Piotr Kmita Sobieński. He added bastions, which increased its defense. The castle had a quadrangular plan with round towers at the corners and a quadrangular tower in the southern corner. There was a fortified ward under the castle. In the years 1616–1633, the starost Marcin Krasicki commissioned the reconstruction of the castle to Galeazzo Appiani, who raised the northern and eastern towers and transformed the north-eastern wing into a residential building with cloisters. In 1678, Marcin Kazimierz Kątski placed an armoury there, and in the second half of the 17th century, further actions were taken to strengthen the castle's defences. In the years 1759–1762, the starost Stanisław Poniatowski demolished the south-western curtain and the southern and western towers, building a new wall, which reduced the area of the castle by about 10 metres. The gate building was reinforced with buttresses. In the years 1865–1867, the north-eastern wing and the northern tower were renovated, and the second floor of the castle gate was demolished. Since 1884, the castle has been the seat of the Przemyśl Dramatic Society "Fredreum". At the end of the 20th century, the curtain wall from the southwest and the tower were partially rebuilt. In the courtyard, the outline of a Romanesque rotunda and palatium from the times of Bolesław the Brave were discovered. In 2012, work began on exposing these relics and the Romanesque three-nave basilica, mistakenly considered to be the Church of Volodar.

Up Lubomirski Palace The Lubomirski Palace in Przemyśl, Podkarpackie Province is a palace and farm complex located in the Bakończyce district. It was built in the years 1885–1887 at the request of Prince Hieronim Adam Lubomirski, and its design was prepared by the architect Maksymilian Nitsch. Bakończyce, currently the southeastern district of Przemyśl, was formerly an independent town. The first written mentions of Bakończyce date back to the 14th century, when the Hungarian starost, who governed these lands, founded a menagerie there. After these areas were annexed to Poland, they became royal property and became part of the Przemyśl district. Over time, the menagerie was transformed into an agricultural manor, and a defensive manor house was built on its premises. In the 17th century, the town was repeatedly destroyed by Tatars, Cossacks, Swedes and Transylvanians, which hindered its economic development. After the end of the war, the palace served as the seat of an agricultural technical school. Since June 1, 2001, some of its premises were occupied by the State Higher Vocational School. In turn, since June 13, 2006, the palace grounds have become the main seat of the State Higher Eastern European School in Przemyśl. The old granary was transformed into a modern library, and most of the buildings in the park were designated as seats of individual faculties of the university. The neo-Gothic entrance gate leading to the park was also renovated.

Łańcut Castle Castle Łańcut Castle is one of the most beautiful aristocratic residences in Poland, famous for its magnificent interiors and collection of horse-drawn carriages. Surrounded by a picturesque English-style park with numerous pavilions, the castle has a rich architectural and artistic history. The oldest interiors, such as the Great Hall, the Hall under the Ceiling and the Hall under the Zodiac, date back to the 17th century, although they did not survive in their original form. Works by the Italian painter Vincenzo Brenna and the Polish architect Szymon Bogumił Zug, who collaborated with Jan Christian Kamsetzer on projects such as the Column Hall and the Princess Marszałkowa's Bedroom, date back to the 18th century. In the 19th and 20th centuries, interiors were created that have survived almost unchanged, including the Library and the Corner Salon. The castle boasts rich art collections that were created by the Lubomirski and Potocki families. The collection includes paintings, furniture, porcelain, silverware and fabrics, with some exhibits dating back to the 18th century. The Stables and Coach House in Łańcut, part of the Potocki residence, form an impressive complex built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries according to the design of Amanda Bauque. The stables have preserved their original interiors, including the part for riding horses and the Gala Scrub House. The Museum in Łańcut has two collections of vehicles: a historical one from the Potocki family (55 vehicles) and a museum collection gathered after World War II (nearly 80 vehicles). The Coach House, with a large Harness Hall and two side coach houses, presents luxury vehicles from renowned companies and a collection of exotic trophies. The most valuable exhibits are the vehicles from the Potocki family, preserved in excellent condition, despite their age, which makes this coach house unique on a global scale.

Senj Nehaj Fortress Nehaj Fortress The Nehaj Fortress is one of the most characteristic defensive structures in Croatia, built on a hill in the town of Senj in 1558. The building material was stones from partially destroyed buildings of the town. It has a quadrangular shape (side length 23 m, height of the fortress 18 m), an internal courtyard and small reinforcing turrets at the corners. The walls narrow towards the top, where their thickness at the bottom is 3.30 m, and at the top it decreases to 2-2.5 m. There are over 100 small gun ports and 11 large holes for cannons in the walls. The second seat of the Uszok in Croatia. The first is Klis Fortress near Split. The interior of the fortress was accessed via stairs, a narrow wooden bridge and a small door. On the ground floor there was a well, a kitchen, rooms for defenders and an armory. The first floor was intended for the commander and commanders, while the second floor housed 11 cannons, positioned so that they could shoot in different directions. The Uskoks were Christian refugees who, fleeing from Turkish troops, found shelter in the Velebit Mountains, which is now Croatia. Over time, they transformed into a community of warriors who protected the local population from Ottoman attacks and organized armed raids on the border. After the Ottomans captured Klis in 1537, the survivors of the Uskoks took refuge in Senj and offered their services to the Habsburgs. From there, they conducted offensive operations against Venice and the Ottomans.

Krasiczyn Castle Castle The castle in Krasiczyn is a historic castle, which is an excellent example of the Renaissance-Mannerist style. The construction of the castle began at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries on the initiative of the Przemyśl castellan Stanisław Sieciński. An interesting architectural element of the castle are its four different corner towers, each of which has a unique name and symbolism: Divine, Papal, Royal and Noble. The castle is also surrounded by a picturesque park, which is its integral part and complements its charm. The castle in Krasiczyn has a rich history dating back to the third quarter of the 16th century. Jakub of Siecin of the Rogala coat of arms, who was the progenitor of the Krasicki family, built a wooden and brick fortalice on a quadrangle plan at that time. This fortalice included a brick gate (still located in the northern wing of the castle), a wooden manor house and earth ramparts and moats. Around 1580-1590, Przemyśl castellan Stanisław Sieciński, who after founding the city took the surname Krasicki, initiated the construction of a brick castle on a quadrangular plan, with four corner towers. The castle was surrounded by ponds, which additionally increased its defensive values. A residential wing was built along the wall on the eastern side, and the palace was surrounded by floodwaters from the north and west, which increased its defensive capabilities. Stanisław Krasicki was also the founder of a nearby town, which was established in the years 1615-1620.
