City fortress and Przemyśl fortress. Together or apart on the way to becoming a monument of history

The article discusses issues concerning the choice and difficult selection of historic buildings from the area of the city of Przemyśl, which were put forward for inclusion in the list of Monuments of History. Due to geographical and historical factors, it was decided to place the main emphasis on the military value of the city. In the application for the list of monuments of history, apart from the old town within the remnants of the city walls, the list of objects was extended to include castellated Carmelite, Franciscan (FPOs) and Benedictine monasteries, in Zasanie, whose fortifications supported the defense of the city. The buildings of the barracks of the Fortress were also selected. All these elements made up a very large area, “insularly” scattered around the city and neighboring communes, with a varying degree of preservation of the historical substance. The text discusses the problem of the extent of the entry on the list of Historical Monuments, landscape, historical and artistic values of the city, the issues of protection and increasing the tourist value, and also poses a question about further prospects for the development of the city and the Fortress.
