In July 2021, the square at Plac Partyzantów in Janów Podlaski was officially opened after its revitalization. The event sparked a lot of controversy: some praised the well-kept space and the new fountain, describing it as "the most beautiful in the region," while others did not hide their indignation, calling the changed square the so-called "concrete."

The stunning fountain, which refers to the biggest tourist attraction in Janów Podlaski – the stud farms, is a novelty on the Janów square, attracting both residents and tourists who visit the town. The fountain depicts a galloping family of horses: a mare, a foal and a stallion, with water spurting from under their hooves. It looks particularly charming in the evening, when it is beautifully illuminated. The models of the sculptures were made by local artist Arkadiusz Markiewicz.

In 1428, the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vytautas founded and endowed a church in the village of Porchów, which the bishop of Lutsk, Jan Łosowicz, named Janów after himself.

In 1685, Stanisław Witwicki, bishop of Lutsk and Brzeg, founded a seminary at this church. The current brick parish church, construction was started in 1714 by the bishop of Lutsk Aleksander Wyhowski, and completed by bishop Stefan Bogusław Rupniewski and consecrated on November 30, 1735. In 1741, it was raised to the dignity of a collegiate church and in 1818 to the dignity of a cathedral. With the dissolution of the diocese by the Russian government in 1867, it is only a parish church. On the hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the diocese, it was restored to the dignity of a cathedral, by the bull of Pius XI.
