Boleslawiec - Porcelain - Buses, buses and PKS

Boleslawiec bus - Sindbad invites you to the city of ceramics

Boleslawiec is a medium-sized city located about halfway between Legnica and Zgorzelec, the Polish-German border. It is separated from the capital of the Lower Silesian province, Wrocław, by a distance of about 123 kilometers. It is closer to the aforementioned Legnica, but also to Lubin, Glogow, Szklarska Poreba, Walbrzych and even Zielona Gora. Boleslawiec is home to less than 40,000 residents. The city obtained its municipal rights in 1251, its founder being Boleslaw I the Tall, to whom the city owes not only its municipal rights, but probably also its name. Over the centuries, the town changed hands - Boleslawiec was under Czech, Prussian, German and Polish rule, and traces of each period have become a permanent part of the town's landscape, which can also be seen in the local buildings.

Boleslawiec monuments

The first association with this place is, of course, porcelain, to which the town owes its international fame. Well, but if someone is not fond of this type of souvenirs, will he be doomed to boredom in Boleslawiec? Not necessarily! The city has several points of interest that are worth seeing with your own eyes. The first of these is the local market square. The central square is an atmospheric place dotted with pubs, restaurants and stores integrated into the surroundings of colorful townhouses. In the center of the square swells the colorful town hall. This Baroque structure with Gothic ornaments skillfully complements the city's main square. In the market square we should also pay attention to the Gothic Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Nicholas dating back to the 15th century. At its back is a charming park with a pond. Another noteworthy sacred building is the Dominican monastery from the 18th century. Another characteristic place in Boleslawiec is the railroad viaduct, a 19th century stone bridge built with arched spans. This crossing over the Beaver River at first glance somewhat resembles a Roman aqueduct.

Boleslawiec porcelain and ceramics

Porcelain and ceramic products are a hallmark of Boleslawiec. Such souvenirs can be bought in many places, but to better explore the mystery of ceramic wares in this region, it is worth going to the Museum of Ceramics. There we will be able to see the most beautiful ceramic specimens, but also learn about the history and secrets of their manufacture. This building also houses the City History Department. Another place not to be missed by ceramics connoisseurs is the Boleslawiec Cultural Center - International Ceramics Center. In addition to a store where you can find the products of local ceramic artisans, it also houses a tourist information center.
