Opatowska Gate – a Gothic entrance gate from the 2nd half of the 14th century in Sandomierz. Built by Casimir the Great as part of the city's defensive walls. In the 16th century, it was topped with a Renaissance attic funded by Sandomierz physician Stanisław Bartolon[2]. During the January Uprising, on February 8, 1863, the dramatic epilogue of the Battle of Słupcza took place here. The defeated insurgents, escaping from the battlefield, tried to resist on the barricade erected in the Opatowska Gate. However, it was captured during the first attack by the pursuing Cossacks. It is the only preserved gate out of four that once led to Sandomierz. Apart from Opatowska, the city was also accessed by the Zawichojska, Lublin and Krakowska gates, as well as two wickets, of which one has survived – the Dominican, called the Eye of the Needle.

The Market Square in Sandomierz – a rectangular square (110×120 m) located in the center of the old town of Sandomierz. The following streets lead out of the market square: Opatowska from Oleśnicka, Sokolnickiego from Długosza, Mariacka from Krótka and Zamkowa from Bulińskiego. The market square is sloping (height difference up to 15 m). The central part of the square (almost in the middle of the Market Square) is occupied by the Gothic town hall (No. 1), next to which there is a statue of the Virgin Mary and a municipal well. In the western frontage of the market square, three historic buildings stand out: Kamienica pod Skrzydłami (No. 4) with a Renaissance portal, Konkwit Boboli (No. 5) and Kamienica Oleśnickich (No. 10) with arcades, in the northern so-called The Gomółka Tenement House (No. 14), and in the southern part the Lazarczyk House (No. 27) with arcades and the Dutreppich Tenement House (No. 31) There are cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops and numerous art galleries around the Market Square. In the southwestern corner of the market square, a huge anchor with a chain standing upwards, symbolically reaching towards the sky was placed[2]. In 2018, 16 glass benches commemorating figures from Polish cinematography were placed on the Market Square. Tourist trails branch off from the market square and then Krótka Street, including the yellow one to Leżajsk[3]. Since 1977, the Underground Tourist Route has been available to visitors, consisting of rooms located, among others, under the Market Square and buildings at the Market Square.
