Strzegom: RYNEK STRZEGOM
Strzegom sits on the Strzegomka River in Poland’s Lower Silesian Voivodeship, where the historic centre lies in the Sudeten Foreland. Rynek Strzegomski is the town’s traditional civic core, a broad square whose surrounding streets bring together public buildings, shops and housing. The Gothic Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is one of Strzegom’s principal monuments. The town is also closely associated with granite: quarries in the area have long supplied the pale stone for building and paving. This link between an old Silesian market town, its stoneworking tradition and its compact centre gives Rynek Strzegomski a strong local identity.
