Main Square – Wroclaw, Poland<\/p>\n

Our Lonely Planet Guide <\/u>says “Everyone loves Wroclaw” and we can understand why! It has lots of character, the architecture is unique, and there is quite a lot to see. It’s the fourth-largest City in Poland and has a University with 130,000 students.<\/p>\n

We are staying just outside the Old Town at Hotel Europeum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today we took a self-guided walking tour starting at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene<\/strong> with a statue honoring Pope John Paul II who is from Krakow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then past Wroclaw University and on to the Hala Targowa Market.<\/strong> Inside there is a wide selection of local cheeses, produce, and flowers.<\/p>\n

Later we visited the Museum of Architecture<\/strong> housed in a 16th-century former Monastery. We saw a photography exhibit of the damaged buildings in Wroclaw post-WW II – it’s stunning to see visual images of the destruction.<\/p>\n

We also viewed an exhibition of stained glass including this one with an image of Madonna and Child based on an Albrecht Durer engraving.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We were impressed with the beautiful cloister garden in the center of the museum.<\/p>\n
