Wroclaw, Poland

Andrev, a student in the beautiful city
of Wroclaw wrote in to tell us about his hometown. He says
he would like to tell us about a few interesting things
about his city and (hopefully) encourage someone to come
here!! Let's begin with a Town Hall – one of the most
beautiful late Gothic and Renaissances Buildings in Europe.
It was started in 14th century with 15th century towers and
is situated in the old Market Square a huge 120 square
metres itself – just imagine. Another interesting place to
see is St. John the Baptist's Cathedral. This was built
on the site of the first wooden church and dates from 1000.
The present Gothic cathedral was rebuilt between 1244 and
1376. Further development took place in 15th century and
added the side chapels and the main portal. The last thing
I would like to describe is Panorama of the battle
Raclawice – one of a few preserved monuments of this kind
in the world a huge 120m x 15m.
