Wroclaw

The capital of Lower Silesia (Dolny Slask) has a huge Old Town built on several islands connected by over 100 bridges. Apart from its unique location, Wroclaw amazes with a plenitude of Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture. An extremely complicated history, combining cultural influences of Germany, Bohemia, Austria and Poland, left its mark on Wroclaw’s atmosphere. After World War II the German population was expelled and replaced by Poles from Lwow (L’viv) that remained within the borders of the Soviet Union.
