  • Back in 2005 plans were made to revitalise the run-down Freedom Square, and the city authorities decided to go for a 'statement piece' - a large #fountain to bring some interest to the mostly empty space. A competition was announced, with the first two winning entries eventually disqualified: the first was too heavy, and the second vetoed by the conservator-restorer, who found it too flamboyant (it portrayed giant birds launching into flight). The third-place entry, authored by Agnieszka Stochaj and Rafał Nowak, was the lucky one, and it was completed in June 2012. #travelslow #travelsmart #travelguide #poznaninyourpocket #Poznan #Poznan101 #sightseeing #visitpoznan #visitpoland #poznantravel #traveleurope #travelpoland #lovetotravel #travelawesome #traveldestination #poland #polska🇵🇱 #wielkopolska

  • Here in #kazimierz you’ll find the heart of #Krakow’s artistic, bohemian character behind the wooden shutters of dozens of antique shops and art galleries. Peeling façades and obscure courtyards hide dozens of bars and cafes, many affecting an air of pre-war timelessness. #travelslow #travelsmart #travelguide #krakowinyourpocket #polandinyourpocket #visitkrakow #visitpoland #travelpoland #sightseeing #lovetotravel #traveldestination #traveladdict #traveling #poland #krakow101 #krakowexperience #krakowplaces
