Wrocław - the city of bridges and the world of dwarfs in Poland

in #architecture21 days ago

Hi everyone. today I will write to you about a city in Poland, Wroclaw. I arrived in the city by plane from Sofia, it was a direct flight and Sofia is very close to me. The flight was about 35 minutes. We had a bus from the airport to the city center. Otherwise, we went in an organized manner, as always in our old society.I wasn't blown away by this trip, but I was really pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the city.Namely, the city extends over the Oder River and its 4 tributaries, more than 25 small islands, and has over 200 bridges.We started our tour of the city from the main square, Reinek. The square is very large and is where most of the tourist attractions are located.In order to photograph the panorama of the city and at the same time enjoy the view, one group went to the high tower and I climbed the stairs to the Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene.The two towers are connected by a pedestrian bridge 45 meters above the ground, which offers panoramic views of the city. Legend has it that the bridge is haunted by the souls of women who preferred partying to housework, hence the name Bridge of Penitents.The photo shows the bridge, and there is also a bronze figure of dwarfs, which are the symbol of the city, so I wanted to see that too.
