Cathedral of the Resurrection and St.. Thomas the Apostle in Zamosc - Renaissance church in the Old Town of Zamosc was built at the end of the sixteenth century. It is located on the route of the Renaissance Route Lublin.

Zamość pronounced is a city in southeastern Poland, situated in the southern part of Lublin Voivodeship (since 1999), about 90 km from Lublin, 247 km from Warsaw and 60 km from the border with Ukraine.

The historical centre of Zamość was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992, following a decision of the sixteenth ordinary session of the World Heritage Committee, held between 7 and 14 December 1992 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States. As described by UNESCO:
Zamość is a unique example of a Renaissance town in Central Europe, consistently designed and built in accordance with the Italian theories of the "ideal town," on the basis of a plan which was the result of perfect cooperation between the open-minded founder, Jan Zamoyski, and the outstanding architect, Bernardo Morando. Zamość is an outstanding example of an innovative approach to town planning, combining the functions of an urban ensemble, a residence, and a fortress in accordance with a consistently implemented Renaissance concept. The result of this is a stylistically homogeneous urban composition with a high level of architectural and landscape values. A real asset of this great construction was its creative enhancement with local artistic architectural achievements.
