The Main Square of Zamo\u015b\u0107, known as Rynek Wielki (Grand Market), is located in the historic center of Zamo\u015b\u0107 in southeastern Poland.

Every day at noon the town\u2019s bugle call (hejna\u0142) sounds from the tower; in summer a trumpeter in traditional dress plays it live towards three points of the compass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best known are the Armenian Houses on the northern side, built for Armenian merchants who lived in Zamo\u015b\u0107 during the city\u2019s trading peak in the 16th\u201317th centuries. These buildings are painted in bright colors and decorated with reliefs and ornate facades. Visitors can also see nearby historical attractions such as the Zamo\u015b\u0107 Cathedral, the former Academy of Zamo\u015b\u0107, and sections of the old fortifications that once protected the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
