Gliwice - tourist attractions and monuments of the city. What is worth seeing?

Gliwice is located in the Silesian province, not far from Zabrze or Katowice. It is a city with a very interesting and turbulent history. It has only been within Poland's borders since 1945, and this is clearly visible in the buildings there. Visiting Gliwice one has the impression of being in one of the German cities like Bonn or Ulm. The beautiful townhouses and picture-perfect market square make an incredible impression. After the war, the city also gained the Gliwice Canal along with an inland port. 

Undoubtedly, the attraction you should see is the ruins of the post-German Victoria Theater. The theater was burned down by the Red Army in 1945 and was never rebuilt. Nevertheless, performances are still held there, and the smoky ruins give the impression of being in post-war Warsaw.

Another point on the map of Gliwice that you should "hook up" with is the beautiful Palm House. Here you can relax, feast your eyes and learn many interesting things. Thousands of plant species (more than 5,600!), a separate aquarium pavilion and even an installation where you can take a look at... the work of ants await you in the Gliwice Palm House. 

Gliwice's Market Square is the most important square in the city, and has retained features of medieval buildings. The square is almost square, and streets diverge here from all corners. In the center of the square is located the Town Hall. The first wooden town hall was built here in the 13th century, the brick one was built in the 14th century and was changed many times, it gained its present form in the 20th century. Next to the City Hall stands the popular fountain with Neptune, and underground passageways stretch under the slab. Many will admit that Gliwice has the most beautiful market square in Silesia. 

A few minutes' walk from Gliwice's market square, between Pod Murami and Górnych Wałów streets, stands the Piast Castle from the mid-14th century. It owes its present shape to a reconstruction in 1561. The castle is part of the Gliwice Museum and has been opened to tourists. It is not a large building, there is a monument to Stefan Batory in front of the castle, the square in front of the castle is decorated with a remnant of the former moat.

The Gliwice Radio Station is also worth noting. It is the tallest wooden structure in the world. It is 111 meters high and was created entirely of larch wood logs, joined by more than 16,000 brass screws. There is a museum at the radio station, and around the tower you will find, among other things, a sensory park or a manicured lawn where you can sit and feel like you are in Paris. The radio station is part of the Route of Monuments of Technology.
