What to expect

Golden Gate (Zlota Brama)
10 min
The Golden Gate is a building of exceptional architectural value, designed by the eminent architect Abraham van den Block and built by Hans Strakowski, a construction entrepreneur. The ideological message of the building, expressed in the form of inscriptions and allegorical sculptures, reflects the main aspirations of the city and the attitudes expected of its citizens.
-
Great Armoury (Wielka Zbrojownia)
10 min
The Great Armoury building - one of the most spectacular examples of Dutch Renaissance in Poland - constitutes a truly masterful finishing touch in the landscape of Piwna street and an important architectural landmark of the Coal Market area.
-
Royal Way
20 min
The Royal Way was the route along which the Polish kings traditionally paraded during their periodic visits.
-
St. Mary's Church

Neptune's Fountain (Fontanna Neptuna)
