Easy hikes and walks around Radom

The layout of Radom's Market Square is associated with the reign of Casimir the Great. Following the destruction of Old Radom, likely during one of the Lithuanian invasions, this ruler granted the town of New Radom its Magdeburg rights in 1350 or 1351. The new town was given a regular layout reflecting the plan of a medieval town, with a centrally located Market Square.

Radom's urban spaces feature bronze sculptures depicting products for which the city was or still is famous. These were created as part of the 2018 and 2022 Citizens' Budgets, along with others from private initiatives. The project was conceived by Maciej Stępnikowski and Sebastian Pawłowski, and the sculptures were created by artist Sławomir Micek.

The monument was unveiled in the presence of Józef Piłsudski on August 10, 1930. It survived until April 1940, when it was destroyed by the German occupation authorities. A fire-fighting pond was built in its place. The monument was only reconstructed in its original location in 1998.

Manufacturer: Fabryka Broni w Radomiu Fabryka Broni w Radomiu was founded in the 1920s as a key element of the Polish arms industry, supplying weapons to the Polish Army. After World War II, it was rebuilt and developed, producing many types of weapons, including AK and Beryl rifles, which since the 1990s have been the basic equipment of Polish soldiers. New challenges facing the Polish Army and limitations of further development of the Beryl rifle led to the creation of the Modular Firearms System Project (MSBS), currently known as the GROT rifle. Work on the project began in 2007. In cooperation between Fabryka Broni and the Military University of Technology, prototypes were developed in two variants - stock and stockless, which underwent final tests in 2010. GROT is the world's first fully modular weapon, enabling quick exchange of the barrel length, trigger chamber and stock, which allows the rifle to be adapted to the user's needs. The first deliveries of the GROT C16 FB-M1 5.56x45 caliber rifle to the Polish Army began in 2017. Replacing older models, the GROT became the basic equipment of the Polish armed forces. By 2025, over 160,000 pieces of the weapon were delivered, constantly improving the design thanks to user feedback, which led to the creation of the A1, A2 variants and the proposed A3 version. The Radom Arms Factory is a symbol of Polish engineering and national pride. For over 100 years, it has been supplying reliable weapons for the needs of the country's defense and foreign customers.

The church was arranged in the former Benedictine monastery church. At that time, over 700 military personnel and 20 Orthodox civilians lived in Radom. The Orthodox cemetery was established only in 1839 outside the then city limits. Previously, the dead Evangelicals were buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery. The area of the cemetery was extended and fenced several times (in 1851 and 1859). In the fourth quarter of the 19th century, the cemetery acquired its present appearance. At that time, the main gate, the gatehouse and the pre-burial house were built. During the First World War, a war quarter was arranged here for the fallen soldiers of the Orthodox faith. In 1948, against the Orthodox community, the state authorities separated part of the cemetery from the south, where exhumed Soviet soldiers killed in Radom and Soviet prisoners of war murdered by the Germans were buried in mass graves.

From the rear side, the building has a symmetrically placed extension (partly modern - harmonized with the original building). The roof of the building is multi-pitched, covered with metal tiles. Today, a gymnasium is added to the original building. Originally, the building at the top of the front facade had a four-sided tower. From the side of the garden there was a porch crowned with two turrets, on top of which the Stars of David were placed. These elements gave the building an unambiguously Jewish character. They were removed during World War II. History of the facility: The Home for the Elderly and Disabled of the Mosaic Faith was built in the Obozisko, a peripheral district of Radom, as a result of the initiative of Samuel and Sana Bekerman, who in 1893 made a bequest for its creation, allocating 600 rubles a year for this purpose from their inheritance. The intention to establish a care facility was realized by Samuel Rufin Bekerman, who in 1912 created the Bekerman Foundation, which had the amount of PLN 30,000. rubles. Already on March 16, 1913, an impressive building was put into use, originally intended only for the elderly of the Jewish faith. Shortly after its construction, during World War I, a Jewish infectious diseases hospital with about 30 beds was located in the building. The building returned to its original function shortly after the end of the war, and from August 1920 it also became a children's home for Jewish orphans, who lived here as many as 70. The younger pupils were provided with school education, the older ones - with education and gaining professional practice in school workshops. The facility was maintained by an institution called Dom Sierot Żydowskich, which in exchange for hospitality undertook to take care of elderly residents. In 1927, the Jewish Religious Community in Radom took over the management of the Bekerman Foundation and its assets. During World War II (since 1940), the Germans decided to place a Jewish infectious disease hospital in the building again. It existed until August 1942 (until the liquidation of the ghetto). All the residents of the house were then murdered. After the end of the war, the devastated building of the poorhouse was thoroughly renovated with the funds of the Social Fund for the Reconstruction of the Capital. Initially, in 1950, it was planned to locate a nursing school here, but eventually, in 1954, the building was handed over to the needs of education and Public Primary School No. 27 was located here.
