Gliwice - Old Town Tour

Gliwice is one of the oldest towns in Upper Silesia – the first mention of the settlement dates from 1276. The Old Town has preserved its original medieval layout with a square Market Square, as well as many centuries-old monuments: the castle, fragments of the walls with towers and the Racibórz Gate, the Gothic parish Church of All Saints, and the town hall with the Neptune Fountain.

We prepared a walk that begins and ends at the castle. Among other things, it tells of the townswomen who defended the town against Mansfeld's troops, of the march of King John III Sobieski's army and of Oskar Troplowitz, the creator of Nivea cream.
