Architecture in Pilica means a Renaissance-baroque castle with bastions and two churches, one Gothic and one baroque: three monuments in a small Jura town.
The monuments of Pilica, from Gothic to baroque, stand on the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland and show several centuries of changing architecture.
At 8 Partyzantów Street stands Pilica Castle, in fact a seventeenth-century palace ringed by bastioned defences of the same date. It is listed as a monument, and the surrounding park is protected as a natural monument. The building's fortunes are covered in the article Zamek w Pilicy: sześć bastionów, posag Wiśniowieckiej i spór o własność.
The church of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist is a fifteenth-century Gothic brick structure; inside, look for the 1601 Padniewski chapel and a tombstone from 1555. From a different era comes the baroque St George’s Church at 8 Krakowska Street, funded in 1630 by Prince Jerzy Zbaraski as a hospital church. The town also appears in the text on towns that lost their rights in 1870, and an overview is on the Pilica page.
The palace dates from the early seventeenth century, and its bastioned fortifications come from the same century.
The fifteenth-century Gothic church of the two Saints John. St George’s is baroque, from 1630.
