Radom, located in central Poland in the Masovian Voivodeship, is a city with over a thousand years of history and a strong industrial tradition. Historically, it was the site where the 'Nihil novi' constitution was adopted in 1505, a milestone in Polish democracy. In the 20th century, Radom developed into a major center for the defense, metal, and leather industries. The workers' protests of 1976 significantly shaped the path toward democratic transition in Poland. Today, the city is widely known for the Radom Air Show, the largest aviation event in the country, attracting hundreds of thousands of spectators. The historic Old Town, preserved city walls, and rich cultural heritage in the Radom Village Open-Air Museum bear witness to the city's animated past.
