Forms of Wrocław

The stops, in walking order

1. 1

   

   Stop 1: Hydropolis

   ~1 hr here

   Hydropolis begins with an unexpected setting: the exhibition occupies a nineteenth-century underground reservoir built in Neo-Gothic form.

2. 2

   

   Stop 2: Muzeum Architektury

   ~1 hr here

   Muzeum Architektury is Poland’s only museum devoted to architecture, housed in a fifteenth-century former Bernardine religious complex.

3. 3

   

   Stop 3: Kościół Opatrzności Bożej

   ~15 min here

   Providence, rather than a saint, gives this church its central subject.

4. 4

   

   Stop 4: Iglica

   ~3 min here

   Iglica, also called the Little Spire, is the granite monument rising from a stepped base in Plac Solny.

5. 5

   

   Stop 5: Kościół Garnizonowy pw. Świętej Elżbiety

   ~15 min here

   St. Elizabeth’s Garrison Church is the immense Brick Gothic basilica beside the north-west corner of Wrocław’s Market Square, with a tower rising 91.46 metres above the Old Town.

6. 6

   

   Stop 6: ruiny prawobrzeżnego zamku Piastów Śląskich

   ~3 min here

   What survives here does not all sit out in the open: part of the ruins lies in the monastery’s cellars, and you can visit that underground portion.

7. 7

   

   Stop 7: Kościół Opieki Świętego Józefa

   ~15 min here

   A single year gives this church a firm place in the city’s story: it begins in 1820.
