Bernardo Morando

Bernardo Morando (c. 1540–1600) was an Italian architect, born in Padua or Venice in the Republic of Venice, who moved to Poland in 1569. In 1578 he signed an agreement with Great Crown Chancellor Jan Zamoyski to design the new foundation of Zamość, conceived as a Renaissance ideal city. He planned its layout, star-shaped fortifications and main buildings, from the Zamoyski Palace to the Town Hall and collegiate church, largely complete by 1598.

He also supervised burghers' houses and laid out other fortified towns. He served as mayor of Zamość in 1591–1593, was ennobled, and died there in 1600.
