A place full of charm. University of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań was appointed in 1919. Its roots go back to 1611, when, under the royal privilege of Sigismund III Vasa, the Jesuit College was established as the first university in Poznań. It is the third largest university in Poland. Auditorium of the University of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań, is a neo-Renaissance building erected in 1905-1910 with the adjacent Collegium Minus on the north side . It fulfills many functions, it is above all the representative hall of the university, where students start and finish their studies. It also hosts classical music concerts and competitions, incl. Festival of H. Wieniawski. The architecture of this university is fascinating, I recommend everyone to find time and visit this university.

Just a 15 minute form the old town square. The area is nice to walk around and there is the cathedral which is worth a look into The bridge and views to the cathedral is impressive and there are a number of cafes and restaurants in the area. Check out the huge murial on the wall over the bridge.

The St. Peter and Paul cathedral is built as a huge red bricks structure with 5 towers, 3 of them are " wounderfull copper ”Onion” towers with a "green" patina. Most impressive up close and from far away. Wonderful interior design with spectacular gilded designs, huge stained-glass windows and plenty of sculptures and decorations. Due to a tight schedule, we were unable to visit the basement floor, which contains ancient remains and tombs of several Polish kings and is highly recommended by all tour guides. Hope to visit again next time.

During my wife’s and me tour of Poznan Old Town Square and the surrounding streets, we reached Golebia Street, which houses one of the most amazing churches we have ever visited in the past, the Parish Church of St. Stanislaus (Fara Church). These sights are amazing and highly recommended. The Parish Church of St. Stanislaus church is amazing and stunning with wonderful designs and decoration both on its exterior and especially the richness of the interior space. Beautifully designed pillars, spectacular ceilings and plenty of spectacular elements in every corner and any direction you turn your eyes to. A site that must not be missed !!!

The Poznan Town Hall is a beautiful Renaissance building decorating the Old Market Square. Its construction was completed around 1300. From this period survived only basements. A thorough reconstruction of the Town Hall was made in the years 1550-60 according to the design of the architect Giovanni Battista di Quadro from Lugano. Then it took on a form very similar to the present one. During this renovation, a new clock was ordered and a "clownish device, namely goats." The facade faces east . Its characteristic three-story loggia is richly decorated. Between the arches of the ground floor arcades are pairs of female allegories of virtues. The Poznań City Hall is a real pearl of the Renaissance. Every day at 12.00 the bugle call of Poznań is played from the town hall tower. At this time the mechanical goats' butting display is performed daily and are accompanied by numerous residents and tourists. Inside, the Museum of the History of Poznań is located. Really beautiful.

Not far from the Old Town Square we happened to encounter the simple and modest building of the Franciscan Church. The exterior and the simple design did not prepare us for the "amazing" sights that awaited us inside the church's interior - one of the most amazing churches I have ever seen !!! The stunning ceiling paintings are breathtaking. The whole church is filled with wonderful amazing Baroque Style artworks. MOST AMAZING. Unfortunately we arrived at the church in the middle of the prayer and out of respect for the holy place and the worshipers, I had to reduce the photography so that I did not take much of the amazing works, pictures and sculptures that filled the church. I am sure that I will return to Poznan in the future with the MAIN aim of completing the photos I missed on this trip.
