Tourist attractions in Plock

Plock is a charming city steeped in history. Visitors have no reason to complain about boredom. Plock is famous for its numerous monuments - more on that in a moment - but also for its fuel company Orlen, music festival Audioriver and amphitheatre. One of the main attractions of Plock is Tumskie Hill, which offers a beautiful panorama of the Vistula River and the adjacent boulevards. The Hill is home to the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the castle and park. The basilica is famous for its doors covered with reliefs. Many art critics emphasize that the Plock Doors are as artistic as their Gniezno counterparts. Apart from the doors, which are a replica of the Romanesque original located in the Sophia Cathedral in Veliky Novgorod, in the basilica it is worth paying attention to the late Renaissance epitaphs and sculptures, Baroque altars and bas-reliefs at the side walls. Under the left tower there is a marble sarcophagus, in which rest the kings: Boleslaw Krzywousty and Wladyslaw Herman and 15 Mazovian princes. Next to the temple there is a former Benedictine abbey, located within a Gothic castle built in the 14th century. At present, it houses the Diocesan Museum.

Descending from Tumskie Hill towards the Old Town, we come across the oldest market in the city - Narutowicz Square. From this place we can admire the former bishop's palace - now a court, the house Under the Trumpets from the fifteenth century and the Zieliński Library. A little further on, at Malachowski Square, is the oldest Polish secondary school, available for visiting by appointment. The institution was founded at the end of the 12th century at St. Michael's Collegiate Church. In addition to visiting the school, lovers of museum art should also visit the Mazovian Museum standing on Tumska Street, which serves as a pedestrian zone. A visit to the museum will surely intrigue all fans of Art Nouveau artists. What other attractions does Plock have for visitors? The Old Market Square with its impressive fountain and the Town Hall is a must-see - the square looks great after dark with its atmospheric lanterns. For enthusiasts of folk art there is the Ethnographic Department of the Mazovian Museum. It is located in the granary behind St. Bartholomew's Church. There is also an interesting Mariavite monastery - a building from 1913 dripping with neo-gothic splendour.

The city has prepared several trails for tourists to follow while discovering Plock. These include the Chopin Trail and the Pilgrimage Trail. Ask about these and other forms of sightseeing at Plock Tourist Information Centre (PLOT) on Old Market Square 8.
