THE OLD TOWN IN RZESZÓW , APART FROM ITS UNQUESTIONABLE HISTORIC VALUE, HAS A GREAT DEAL OF SPECIFIC CHARM. ITS CENTRE IS THE MARKET SQUARE SURROUNDED BY HOUSES AND TOWNHOUSES DATING IN 17-TH / 18-TH CENTURIES.

THE OLD PART OF THE CITY CONCENTRATED AROUND THE MARKET SQUARE HAS ALSO ITS PECULIAR UNDERGROUND WORLD, RARE IN POLAND. UNDER THE HOUSES AND THE SURFACE OF THE SQUARE AND STREETS, THERE IS A COMPLICATED SYSTEM OF CELLARS, UNDERGROUND CHAMBERS AND CORRIDORS REACHING A DEPTH OF 10 M. OPENED AT THE END OF 2000, THE UNDERGROUND TOURIST ROUTE IS UNIQUE IN THE WAY THAT THESE CELLARS SPREAD OUT BEYOND THE BUILDINGS ABOVE. THE TOURIST ROUTE IS 213 M LONG AND CONTAINS 34 CELLARS.
