Zamość Cathedral
Katedra Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego i św. Tomasza Apostoła
A Renaissance cathedral by Morando with elegant white vaults and stucco decoration, next to a bell tower you can climb and a religious art museum.
The cathedral was originally a collegiate church built in 1587–1598, financed by Jan Zamoyski and designed by Morando. It is one of Poland's finest late Renaissance churches. Its interior has white vaults covered in Lublin-style stucco ornament, and the side aisles contain the Zamoyski family tombs. The freestanding bell tower beside the church can be climbed for views over the old town's red-tiled roofs. The bishop's residence, Infułatka, houses a religious art museum. Entry to the cathedral is free, but please keep quiet during Mass. The bell tower and museum require separate tickets.

Church open daytime; bell tower and museum approx. 10:00–16:00 (seasonal)
