Wartości kulturowe i ekologiczne parku miejskiego w Zamościu

In the years 1919-1926 the 11 hectare park was established on the area of the previous 19th century fortress. The park was designed by engineer Walerian Kronenberg while the field works were managed by engineer Edward Kranz. The main aesthetic and landscape advantages are: the lay of the land, the preserved and renovated Old Lublin Gate with fragments of the Renaissance fortifications (bastion4), preserved coop, moats, culverts, the brick bridge and two wooden ones, and the decorated main entrance gate. The composition of green and water positively influences the psyche of strolling people. The park distinguihes by the beautiful space management and the aesthetic of carefully composed greenery.
