THE HOUSE AT 17 RYNEK SQUARE [OLD TOWN SQUARE]. THE PORTAL FROM C. 1560

The arcade of this house contains the Renaissance stone portal, the only one of that kind preserved in Przemyśl, dating back to c. 1560.

The portal leads to a transitory hallway (characteristic for old-Polish houses) reaching so called “Great Chamber” located in the third tract of the house.

Over the portal there is an inscription in Latin:

CONVENIENS HOMINI EST HOMINEM SERVARE VOLUPTAS ET MELIOR NULLA QUAERITUR ARTE FAVOR

IT IS A PLEASURE APPROPRIATE TO MAN, FOR HIM TO SAVE A FELLOW-MAN, AND GRATITUDE IS ACQUIRED IN NO BETTER WAY
