OLESNICA

Oleśnica is a small town of about 35,000 people in Lower Silesia, located near Wroclaw. The Oleśnica River flows through it. Attractions and monuments worth seeing here include, first of all, the Olesnica Princes' Castle, dating back to the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. Although most of its former furnishings were looted during and after World War II, the body of the building itself, the cloisters in the courtyard or other decorations have not suffered too much and today remind us of the former splendor of this object. The castle is connected with the nearby Basilica of St. John the Apostle, also known as the castle church, by a 14th-century gallery. In the richly decorated interiors of the church, in addition to the magnificent altar, pulpit or organ, one can visit the chain library and the mausoleum of the Princes of Württemberg.

The Olesnica area is also home to the historic 16th-century Dormition of the Holy Mother of God Orthodox Church and the Old Synagogue building, which is now a Pentecostal Church congregation. It is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Poland that once served as a synagogue - it was built at the end of the 14th century. Olesnica's medieval town gate and defensive walls are also a major attraction. The city has an impressive ATOL recreational complex, which includes an aquapark, climbing wall, tennis, squash and miniature golf courts, among others.

BERGAMO

Bergamo is a city in Northern Italy in the Lombardy region lying at the southern foothills of the Bergamo Alps. It was founded around 390 BC by the Celts as Bergheim ("city on a hill"), and was occupied by the Romans in the 1st century BC and renamed Bergomum. In 575 Bergamo was established as the capital of the principality of the Longobards. The historic part of the city, which is so popular with tourists, is located on a hill, which can be reached by a funicular railroad. There you can find many valuable and delightful monuments and feel the atmosphere of a small Italian town. However, when visiting Bergamo, you can find accommodations at a better price primarily in the Lower Town.

When visiting Bergamo, it is worth noting the 16th century defensive walls surrounding the historic part of the city (Città Alta). The focal point in this part of town is Piazza Vecchia with the Palazzo della Ragione and the Town Tower (Campanone), which dates back to the 12th century and is over 50 meters high - the best vantage point in the old town. Also worth seeing are the Cathedral and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Particularly noteworthy are the richly decorated interiors of the latter temple.

An attraction a bit off to the side that many people overlook is the hill of San Vigilio with a beautiful panorama of Città Alta, all of Bergamo and the surrounding countryside. And it's a place worth visiting, especially since you can help yourself by taking the Funicolare S. railroad. Vigilio, whose station is just outside the city walls, 500 meters from Piazza Vecchia. On the 496-meter hill are the ruins of a castle with a tower, as well as a small park and fountain.

Commuting to Bergamo

Bergamo is best reached by bus or plane, due to its size and low fares. Bergamo airport is 6 kilometers from the city center, and less than 50 kilometers from Milan.
