Szydłów was named a Polish Carcassone many years ago because of its perfectly preserved medieval urban arrangement and town walls. Made of local limestone in the 14th century, the walls were 1080m long and 1,8m thick. Additional protection for the town and the castle, built along the southern sector of the walls on the order of King Casimir the Great about 1354, was a moat, whose remains one can see today. Up to the present, one can admire the Knights’ Parlour, the Little Treasure House (Skarbczyk), where the Regional Museum has its seat, and the Krakowska Gate. North of the market square stands a late Gothic synagogue; erected before 1564, it now houses a communal culture centre.
Szydłów has several tourist attractions, including the 16th-century Szydłów Synagogue, several buildings and churches dating to the 14th century and the ruins of a castle from the same period.
