\u201cPearl of the Renaissance\u201d that is how Tarn\u00f3w\u2019s Old Town is spoken about by art connoisseurs. In the epoch of Renaissance Tarn\u00f3w was one of the most beautiful towns in Poland. Its extraordinary beauty and atmosphere were created by structures such as: majestic parish church, magnificent Town Hall<\/a> and the townsmen houses with polychrome finished front walls.
\r\nAt the beginning of the 16th century Tarn\u00f3w had ca. 1,200 inhabitants. The city was surrounded with fortified walls and had water supply and sewage systems in place. The inhabitants made their money on trade and craft.<\/p>\r\n

The then owner of Tarn\u00f3w was a world renown nobleman, politician and traveler, royal hetman Jan Tarnowski. His family residence was the castle located some 1.5 mile south of the town, on the top of Saint Martin Hill. In the 1620s the city was surrounded with new fortified walls, which were partially renovated in 1960s and can be seen today.
\r\nToday, while walking the streets of Tarn\u00f3w one can admire the beauty of the Renaissance houses within the Old Town, unique tombstones inside the Cathedral<\/a> and remains of the once magnificent castle on St Martin Hill.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cPearl of the Renaissance\u201d that is how Tarn\u00f3w\u2019s Old Town is spoken about by art connoisseurs.

Tarn\u00f3w enjoyed its greatest time of prosperity in the 16th<\/sup> c. under hetman Jan Tarnowski who transformed the town into \u201cRenaissance pearl\u201d of Poland. Tarnowski has modernized Tarn\u00f3w introducing numerous innovations to the infrastructure, legal and social aspects of the functioning of his town. He ordered to replace all the wooden building in the center with concrete ones and surrounded Tarn\u00f3w with modern walls. With King\u2019s approval, Tarnowski hired royal sculptor and architect, Jan Maria Padovano (Gianmaria Mosca). Padovano has supervised reconstruction of the Town Hall and created several sepulchral monuments in the Cathedral. His works are recognized as the masterpieces of Polish Renaissance art.<\/p>\n","class":"article","type":"single","in_menu":true,"show_date":false,"map":"","old_id":"","rooms_info":"","top_column":"","left_column":"","right_column":"","bottom_column":"","show_children":"","skip_import":false,"_menu_related_id":"96191"},"yoast_head":"\n"Pearl of Renaissance" - Tarnowskie Centrum Informacji<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.it.tarnow.pl\/en\/worth-seeing\/did-you-know-that\/pearl-of-renaissance\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\""Pearl of Renaissance"\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cPearl of the Renaissance\u201d that is how Tarn\u00f3w\u2019s Old Town is spoken about by art connoisseurs.
