Kutna Hora was founded around the 12th century when the silver fever broke out. Several thousand people moved for work in the neighbourhood and created the first settlement. The majority of the king´s wealth in this era came from silver from Kutna Hora. Thanks to it, Prague experienced a huge cultural boom and Kutna Hora competed with Prague for its importance in the 14th century.

The convenient location of this commercial crossroads has been known since prehistoric times, but it was not until the 10th century that the first signs of Wroclaw appeared. Thanks to wealthy merchants, houses with beautiful architecture and beautiful river parks were built here, which can be found on one of the 12 islands created by the Oder River. Because the islands are connected by a total of 112 bridges and Wroclaw is known as Venice of Poland. World War II was a disaster for Wrocław and more than 70% of the city was destroyed, the reconstruction continued until the 1980s but was successful. Today, the city is a vibrant cultural city with several theatres and museums, with a renowned nightlife.

Most of the major sites and monuments are concentrated in the city centre, including the renovated Old Market Square - Rynek, the second-largest market square in Poland, after the Krakow Market Square. The first local fortress was built around the 8th century on the island of Tumski, which then became the seat of the church. You can admire Wroclaw from the height of the nearby cathedral towers that are easily accessible by a lift. However, the most visited monument is the Racławice Panorama in the local rotunda. This enormous painting painted on the inside of the rotunda is 15 m high and astonishing 114 m long and depicts scenes from the most famous Polish rebellion known as the Battle of Racławice.
