Extract from the Opatw Travel Guides:
Some 60km east of Kielce on the Lublin road, beyond the outer reaches of the Swietokrzyskie Mountains, the little town of
OPATW
is as somnolent a place as you would expect in these parts. Yet the town has known better days, originally developing out of its position on one of the major medieval trading routes east into Russia. Badly mauled during the Tatar raids of Poland (1500-1502), Opatw was purchased and subsequently fortified by Chancellor Krzysztof Szydlowiecki. The Stare Miasto complex grouped around the long square at the top of the hill and surrounded by walls is what remains of the chancellor's development of the town.
