The Market Square is the heart of the Old Town. It is built in the shape of a square, 100 meters on each side, with two straight streets intersecting in the middle: Grodzka Street and Ratuszowa and Moranda Streets, which connect the Wielki Rynek with the other two squares, Wodny Rynek and Solny Rinek. All around the square there are beautiful bourgeois houses with richly decorated arches. They belonged to rich merchants, professors and noblemen of Zamoyski's entourage. Originally, the facades of all the houses on the square were covered with decorative parapets, which, however, were removed in the 1820s. Only the parapets on the houses in the northern part of the square were restored. These houses, called "Armenian houses", belonged to rich Armenian merchants. At No. 30 Ormiańska Street is the Wilczkowska House, which houses the Zamojskie Regional Museum. On Bartoszewiczowska Street there is the "house under the lion" at No. 26, the "house under the couple" at No. 24 and the "house under the Virgin" at No. 22. These houses are topped with attics and painted in bright colors. The portals are also worth seeing. Sculpted and richly decorated, they are often original. The Rynek is dominated by a magnificent town hall (Ratusza), built in 1651. The Rynek is a lively and busy place, so don't hesitate to venture into the arcades, access the cellars and discover its bars and restaurants.

Grande place du marché.

C'est un exemple de l'une des plus belles places du seizième siècle en Europe.
Il a été conçu par Bernardo Morando, un architecte italien, comme une place représentative sur le modèle de l'ancien "forum publicum" ou de la "piazza" italienne.
La place carrée de 100 x 100 m est entourée de maisons bourgeoises à arcades à arcades.
Le bâtiment central, qui était généralement un hôtel de ville situé au centre de la place, à Zamość, occupe une place parmi les immeubles de la façade nord.

Initialement, les bâtiments autour du marché étaient modestes, en bois.
Jan Zamoyski, le fondateur de la ville, a veillé à ce que les habitants des logements (principalement des artisans et des marchands fortunés) les transforment en maisons en briques. Les immeubles d'habitation ont été reconstruits à plusieurs reprises.

Actuellement, le développement autour du marché est un mélange de styles avec un avantage significatif des formes de la Renaissance tardive.
Devant la façade de l'hôtel de ville, on peut voir la place après l'ancien pilori, ainsi qu'une plaque commémorant la visite du maréchal Józef Piłsudski à Zamość en 1922.

 Le caractère représentatif du marché est encore visible aujourd'hui. La grande place du marché est le théâtre des événements culturels les plus importants de la ville. Le théâtre d'été de Zamość, la foire Hetman, le coloré Eurofolk, des concerts et bien d'autres se déroulent ici.
