What to do and see in Poznan, Central Poland: The Best Monuments & Statues
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.

Apart from the famous four “Mythological Roman theme” fountains in Poznan’s Old Market Square, Prozerpiny, Mars, Apollo, and Neptune, there is another very lovely fountain/monument, called Studzienka Bamberki, that is closely associated with the 18th-century history of Poznan. It is then that poor Catholic farmers from the district of Bamberg (in Bavaria, Germany) were invited to come and settle in the villages deserted after the 1700-1721 Northern War and a plague. Those who came, called ''bambers'', quickly assimilated into the local community. The Bamberka drinking fountain, erected in 1915, was funded by the Goldenring merchant family specializing in the wine trade. It depicts a woman clad in traditional Bamberg clothes who is carrying two buckets on a pole across her shoulders.
