<h3 id="history">History</h3>
<p>The first settlement in the area of present-day Lublin dates back to the 6th century. In the 10th century, the settlement was fortified with wooden walls, later upgraded to stone. In the 13th century, Lublin was ravaged first by the Mongol-Tatars and then by the Lithuanians. In the second half of the 15th century, Casimir IV Jagiellon made the city the capital of the newly established Lublin Voivodeship. This marked the beginning of the city&#8217;s prosperity, largely due to its location on a trade route from the Black Sea to Western Europe.</p>

<p>At the beginning of the 18th century, Lublin received privileges that put it on equal footing with <a href="https://mandry.club/en/cities/krakow-poland/">Kraków</a>. In 1815, Lublin became part of the Congress Kingdom of Poland under the Russian Empire. During World War II, the city was occupied by German forces and was liberated by the Soviet Army in July 1944.</p>
