Iłża, powiat radomski, woj. mazowieckie
Ruins of a Gothic-Renaissance castle of the bishops of Kraków, with a characteristic round tower, towering over the town of Iłża.
The castle rises on a hill above Iłża in the Radom district, in the southern part of the Masovian Voivodeship.
The castle was probably built between 1326 and 1347 on the initiative of the bishop of Kraków, Jan Grot. The upper castle was erected on a plan resembling a heart - one of the few such fortress forms in Poland - with a cobbled courtyard of about 5,000 m². In the following centuries the site fell into ruin.
The preserved round tower, walls and courtyard; visiting is supported by information boards and a tourist information point. In 2021 the first stage of conservation work was carried out.
For lovers of ruins, history and views of the surroundings.
Current information from the site manager / the Iłża municipality.
The town of Iłża in the Radom district; access by road.
