Lublin. Po Farze Square

Po Farze Square (Former Parish Church Square) in Lublin is one of the oldest parts of the Old Town in Lublin, hiding the relicts of buildings whose history reaches back as far as to the Middle Ages. The church of St. Michael that overlooked the square in the past was the seat of the first parish in Lublin and one of the key elements of the city’s panorama. Today, the foundations, uncovered and raised between 2001 and 2002, and a bronze mock-up that represents the appearance of the church in accordance with historical sources, remind of its existence.According to the Annals of Traska from the 14th century, Leszek the Black conquered the Yotvingians in 1282 on Narew river and returned all the spoils that they had taken from Lublin. He saw Archangel Michael in his dream before the battle. Jan Długosz adds that, having returned from the war expedition, out of gratitude for the victory, duke Leszek established the parish church of St. Michael in Lublin, recognizing the archangel as “the author of the triumph and full success”. A local tale has it that Leszek the Black had dreamt his “miraculous dream” at the very place where the church was built and that the trunk of the oak tree under which he had slept was preserved under the great altar in token of remembrance.
