PL

Góra Królowej Bony – wzniesienie niedaleko Starej Lomzy. Razem z lezacym tuz obok Wzgórzem Swietego Wawrzynca zwiazane jest z dawna (przed rokiem 1400) lokacja Lomzy. Nazwa okresla jednoczesnie wzgórze i grodzisko pozostale po wczesnosredniowiecznym grodzie, który datowany jest na IX-X wiek. Byl to jeden z najbardziej wysunietych na pólnocny wschód grodów obronnych Mazowsza. Jego polozenie wskazuje na charakter obronny. Od pólnocnego wschodu zabezpieczeniem dla grodu byla nie tylko Narew, ale takze szeroka i bagnista dolina rzeki. Do dnia dzisiejszego zachowaly sie takze pozostalosci walów ziemnych otaczajacych gród.

Top of Queen Bona Hill - elevation near Stara Lomza. Together with lying next to Mount St. Lawrence is associated with the old (before 1400) location of Lomza. Name specifies both the hill and the other early medieval fortified bulkheads, which dated to the IX-X century. This was one of the most advanced in the north-east fortified towns of this region. Its location indicates a defensive character. Since security for the north-east of the castle was not only Narew, but also the broad and marshy river valley. Well preserved remains of embankments around the city might be seen today.


Powodzenia - Good luck
