Fairs in Lublin provided a forum for their contacts. Thus, one fair was organised in each season of the year. Merchants from Lithuania and Moscow brought mainly furs and wax, those from the West — cloth and metal products. Lublin flowed with Hungarian and Greek wines and saw transports of Oriental cloth, spices, copper, sulphur, lead and weapons.
Trade in oxen from Volhynia and Podolia went west via Lublin. In the latter half of the 15th and in the 16th century Lublin thrived as a commercial centre and one of the main stations along the long international transit route. Many carters and local inns provided services to the merchants. Because of its central location, the Jagiellons who visited Lublin frequently, handled the most urgent state affairs at Lublin Castle.
In Lublin saw the memorable assembly of deputies which consolidated the union of Poland and Lithuania. From that moment both countries had one king, parliament and foreign policy and also the same currency, although coins minted in each country bore their respective emblems.
But the two countries preserved their separate administrations, treasuries, armies and courts. The existing restrictions on the purchase of land by the Polish gentry in Lithuania and on settling down there and vice versa were waived. The voluntary and peaceful unification of two different countries that Poland and Lithuania indisputably were, was a difficult and extraordinary undertaking which required a lot of political culture.
The formation of the Union of Lublin produced a relatively uniform state organism whose vast territory was matched only by that of Russia. This historical event is commemorated by the Union of Lublin memorial in Lithuanian square in the centre of Lublin. On 19 July an impressive ceremony took place during the sessions of the assembly that proclaimed the Union of Lublin. In Lublin was honoured by the establishment of the Crown Tribunal. The magnates built palaces, the noblemen — manors and the burghers - inns with ample space for horses, carriages and wagons.
With the Crown Tribunal Lublin was also a place where young lawyers were trained as law education at that time was based primarily on internship at tribunals.
Usually, there were 40 of them and each was accompanied by a great entourage of servants. The town had to secure a lodging for those substantial numbers of visitors for half a year. After being used for six months, those buildings were most often handed over by the judges back to the owners in a dilapidated condition. The place in which the Tribunal held its sessions turned out to be another problem. The Tribunal almost by force took over four rooms on the first floor of the Town Hall Old Town Market Square , pushing the town officials down to the ground floor which to a considerable extent made their normal work difficult.
And finally, Lublin was also a place where assemblies of noblemen from the Lublin voivodship were held. Those assemblies gathered at St. Cebularz probably originates from wheat flatbreads known in the Middle East which were brought to this part of Poland by Jewish immigration and modified afterwards. It is a very popular snack: One can buy it in every bakery or grocery in Lublin it is uncommon to taste it in a restaurant or bar.
Since cebularz has been registered within the European Union as a product with Protected Geographical Indication. The Lublin region is also famous for various kinds of pierogi. The local type is known as pierogi po lubelsku or pierogi wiejskie.
It is stuffed with a mix of cottage cheese, buckwheat groats kasha and mint. If you want to try Lublin regional alcoholic beverages or buy Lublin-related souvenirs , you can choose among vodka, mead and beer.
