Interesting facts about the history of the castle and town
VIII century
The oldest Radom settlement was established at the end of the 8th century in the valley of the river Mleczna. It occupied quite a large area. It was an area of about 7-8 hectares located on both sides of the riverbed. The archaeologists found that the buildings had an irregular layout, the houses were loosely scattered. Animal pens were also found as well as significant amounts of cultivated grains (including millet and wheat) and hemp stalks, indicating that tillage and livestock breeding were the primary occupations of the settlement's inhabitants. The settlement existed until the end of the 9th century when, due to rising water levels in the river, the population had to look for new settlements and moved to higher ground.
