OMosques have been in Poland since the Middle Ages, when Polish kings gave land to Tatar troops for brave warring with other kingdoms / states. In those days and still today, people live in harmony despite religious differences. A very cool storyteller Tatar tells about history and the present day. This place cannot be missed!ne of very few mosques in Poland. The

This museum is a delight..... a very impressive collection of icons in a museum designed to maximize the impact of seeing them. One big complaint is that the tour is guided (no other option is offered) and quite rushed. I would have loved to see ALL the icons at my pace, sadly it was not possible. Note to management: please reconsider the format.....
6. Tykocin Synagogue

My wife and I were in Warsaw and I had read about the restoration of this old synagogue. Not one of the largest in pre-war Poland, but of historical significance. Typical of the free-standing sunken fortrass synagogues of its era. We got a guide in Warsaw to take us. After WW2 synagogue fell into disrepair, and has recently bee3n resored to "like-new" condition. While we were there several Jewish groups came through, one from North Ameraica, one from South America. Tycochin pre-WW2 was 50% Jewish, 50% Catholic. The synagogue was at one end of the town, the church on the other, with the town marketplace in between. We got a thorough tour of the town and the local guides at the synagogue were helpful (being Jewish, we know what we were looking at and reading on the inscriptions). Guides facilitated our photography. Agree that what happened to the community was glossed over. Our Warsaw guide took us to the spot in the forest a few miles outside of town where the Nazi's murdered the community over a two day period. There are memorials there marking the mass graves. On our way we briefly stopped at the Jewish cemetery. Basically, the Nazi's tried to erase hundreds of years of Jewish history in this place. They wiped out the people, sadly. The synagogue and vestiges of the cemetery remain as testiment. If you are interested in Jewish history, and Jewish civilization / culture, worth a visit.

One of the main attraction in Lublin, and defenitely the most exciting one. Stone castle was built in early 14th century on the place of wooden castle by Casimir III the Great, king of Poland. Then it was demolished in 17th and 18th century and was rebuilt as neogothic in 19th. During the Austrian, Russian then German occupation and even through the post-war years it served as a prison. After 1957 it's been a museum.
