In bucolic rolling countryside on Radom’s southwestern outskirts is an outdoor museum that has put together more than 60 historic wooden buildings from around the Radom region. The oldest of these is the Church of St Dorota from Wolanów, dating to 1749, which has beautiful Baroque trompe l’oeil paintings in its interior. There’s another church in t...
On the Market Square, Radom’s other top museum is in the striking former college for the Piarist order from 1756. The museum is named after Radom’s most famous son, the highly-regarded Symbolist painter Jacek Malczewski. Several of his pieces are here, joined by a wealth of other 19th-century and 20th-century painting by the likes of the Realist Jó...
The oldest church in Radom, and the city’s parish church for hundreds of years, was first erected in the 13th century. This compact building has had a troubled history, but there are clear traces of the earliest architecture in its five ogival window openings and three buttresses. The nave is a little newer than the chancel, dating to the 14th cent...

Most of the street was built up rapidly in the 19th century, and is fronted by Neoclassical, Historicist and Art Nouveau tenement houses. The finer residential buildings still carry the names of the entrepreneurs who owned them (Kociubski, Gozman, Czemp...
After Old Radom was destroyed by the Lithuanians in the 14th century, King Casimir III the Great set out the location of the new town, and this square was at its centre. Nowadays the Market Square is a little sleepy, and you may see groups of elderly folk chatting under the big willow tree in summer. At no. 4, Dom Esterki is a copper-coloured house...
On the north side of the square is the town hall, which currently sits empty after its offices were moved to the much larger Pałac Sandomierski close by. The town hall is the second to be built on the square as its predecessor, which had stood since the 14th century, was demolished in 1819. This Neo-Renaissance building was built in the late-1840s ...
Drawn up in 1822, Radom’s oldest public park is also one of the oldest in Poland. You’ll find this seven-hectare garden just to the northwest of the central Śródmieście quarter. The little Mleczna River, a right tributary of the Radomka, flows through the park and feeds the pond at the centre. The park lost its splendour in the Second World War whe...
Back in 1854, Jacek Malczewski was baptised at this church, which dates to the time of King Casimir III the Great in the mid-14th century. Many changes have been made to the architecture since then, especially at the start of the 19th century when it was in a state of disrepair and had to be partly pulled down and rebuilt. But even though a lot of ...
