Things to do in Poznan, Central Poland: The Best Churches & Cathedrals
Poznan was once the capital of Poland and is still the capital of the Wielkopolska region. Poznan lies midway between Berlin and Warsaw, which has helped make it an important town for centuries. Badly damaged in World War II, the city (especially its Old Town) has been beautifully restored. The huge Old Town Square (Stary Rynek) is one of Europe’s nicest, and is lined by fabulous historic attractions, restaurants and nightlife. The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is Poland’s oldest cathedral.

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.

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.
