About this activity
Discover Wroclaw's most storied medieval quarter on Cathedral Island, where Gothic architecture, ducal history, and spiritual heritage converge in Poland's oldest urban centre. This guided walk unveils centuries of drama—from Mongol invasions to baroque chapels—within the city's spiritual heart.
Explore the oldest part of the city of Wroclaw discovering the most ancient monuments and unveiling the thrilling stories about saints and dukes, loyalty and treachery, prosperity and plunder in the unique Medieval sceneries of our “Little Vatican”.
You will see the relics of their splendid castle and learn about the miracles that occurred during the Mongol invasion. Walking through medieval cellars you will time travel into an era of knights, peasants, and clergy.
During the visit to the Cathedral, you will experience, besides the ambiance of the tall Gothic naves and brick arches, the magnificent Baroque chapels designed by Italian-mastered disciples of the famous Bernini and the Austrian genius from Vienna: Fischer von Erlach.
