Historic center of Wrocław. It was in Ostrów Tumski, which was actually an island two hundred years ago, where there was a wooden castle from the 10th century, and later – a brick castle of the Piast dynasty. Until today, Ostrów is not only a tourist attraction, an exceptionally popular walking place, but also the seat of the Wrocław metropolitan curia.
Almost every building that meets the road along the narrow streets of Ostrów Tumski, in the evening phenomenally lit by a row of gas lamps on both sides of the pavement, breathes the spirit of the past. It is enough to mention the church of St. Idzi (St. Giles) with the legendary Kluska Gate, the oldest fully preserved building in Wrocław, the Gothic cathedral of St. John the Baptist or the church of St. Marcin (Martin) , the only remnant of the now defunct Piast castle in Ostrów Tumski. Among the trees and buildings with several hundred years of history on the island, there is a truly romantic atmosphere, which is shared especially with those in love, leaving a trace in the form of padlocks pinned to the Tumski Bridge. After a slow and relaxing walk, it is worth visiting the Archdiocese Museum on the former cathedral island, the most valuable exhibit of which is the Book of Henryków, containing the first sentence written in Polish – a national treasure a monument inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World list.
Once visiting Cathedral Island pay a visit to Tourist Information point called Infocentrum. It is located right next to main entrance to cathedral. http://www.infocentrum.wroclaw.pl/

The world would be much sadder if there were no tasty dishes.
