About 2 km south from the city centre, on St. Martin’s Mountain, there are remains of the Tarnów castle, built by the founder of Tarnów Spycimir, coat of arms Leliwa, castellan of Cracow. The castle was erected in the first half of the 14th century and it belonged to descendants of Spycimir bearing surname Tarnowski. At that time it was one of the biggest castles in the Polish Kingdom which belonged to a magnate family. The castle stood on two hills. On the lower part of the hill there were castle boroughs –farming and administrative infrastructure and on the upper one the high castle, namely fortified residence. In years 1519-1527 hetman Jan Amor Tarnowski reconstructed the castle and surrounded it with stone-grounds bastile fortifications, making it one of the greatest castles of the monarchy and a leading centre of the Polish Renaissance culture. In 1528 for half a year the castle and the town were at the disposal of king of Hungary Jan Zápolyi and his court. In 1567 the castle passed to the hands of hetman’s daughter Zofia, the wife of prince Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski. Three years later it was conquered by Ostrogski’s opponents and then renovated. In the beginning of the 18th century the castle was ultimately abandoned and demolished.
