'''Zamość''' is a city in the southeast of [[Poland]] and has a population of 65,149 (2014).

== Old City of Zamość ==
Zamosc was founded in the 16th century by the [[chancellor]] Jan Zamoysky on the trade route linking western and northern Europe with the [[Black Sea]]. Modelled on Italian theories of the 'ideal city' and built by the architect Bernando Morando, a native of Padua, Zamosc is a perfect example of a late-16th-century Renaissance town. It has retained its original layout and fortifications and a large number of buildings that combine Italian and [[central European]] architectural [[tradition]]s.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/564</ref>
