Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Poznan, Central Poland
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 museum is very large, you can spend almost all day around it. The museum is located in two buildings. The old headquarters from 1904 shows on the ground floor the Polish Art Gallery 16-18 century with a unique collection of coffin portraits and the Gallery of Medieval Art. In the basement of the old building is a collection of the Roman imperial portrait unique in Polish collectionsand ancient art gallery. On the first floor there are collections of Western European painting, with the only painting by Claude Monet in Poland ''Beach in Pourville''. The new wing exhibits works of the Gallery of Polish Art since the time of enlightenment by the arts of romanticism, academism, impressionism, symbolism - including the largest collection of paintings by Jacek Malczewski in Poland - paintings by Olga Boznańska, Wojciech Weiss, Witold Wojtkiewicz, Stanisław Wyspiański, Leon Wyczółkowski, Piotr Potworowski, Władysław Podkowiński, Jan Matejko.

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.
