Urbanizacja rejonu między Iłżanką, Kamienną i Wisłą do końca XVI stulecia

Abstract

Most urban settlements spread over the Iłżanka, the Kamienna and the Vistula Rivers, through the valleys of which ran local roads; some of them got situated at the main transit routes, crossing the middle of the described area in Iłża since the ancient times. Long time ago the Iłża Castle-Town had a connection with the castle in Solec on the Vistula River. Near this course, closer to Solec, the town Lipsko grew up at the end of the 16th century. This course is a road running from west from Żarnów and Skrzynno through Iłża and Solec and through the Vistula crossing in Solec to Opole and Lublin. In Iłża a trail crossed it from north to south, from Radom and Skaryszew through Jedlne to Kunów, Opatów and Sandomierz. The section of this road from Iłża to Kunów is mentioned in a document from 1412, which we know about from the record from 1480. It says there that the section led from Iłża to Opatów through Kunów and Ostrów, that is Ostrowiec. From the 13th century Kunów (the family parish of the Jubilee Celebrator) was an important settlement, and its role was growing with the increase of settlement in the bishop woods on the Kamienna River.
