  • Erected back in 968, this stunning #cathedral is Ostrów Tumski’s oldest structure. It has been razed, rebuilt and remodelled over the centuries: a 1622 fire led to a Baroque finish, 100 years later another fire resulted in a change to neo-Classicism. Burned during the 1945 liberation battle of #Poznan, the flames exposed its Gothic elements and its restoration led to its current style. 📸 @rintoulphotography #travelslow #travelsmart #travelguide #poznaninyourpocket #poznantravel #travelpoland #traveleurope #livetotravel #lovetotravel #putthephonedown #sightseeing #Poznan101 #polandexperience #polandinyourpocket #travelholic #poznanlovers

  • #didyouknow #Stalin had sent a secret delegation to New York to learn both about the #empirestatebuilding and American construction methods? The outbreak of #WWII meant, however, that it wasn’t until 1952 that his architects were able to put their knowledge into practise. #architecture #polishhistory #socialrealism #polandarchitecture #travelslow #travelsmart #travelguide #warsawinyourpocket #polandinyourpocket #polandexperience #poland🇵🇱 #lovetotravel #travelpoland #visitpoland #visitwarsaw #warszawa #travelawesome #sightseeing #polska #putthephonedown
