Main monuments and landmarks on the route: Old Market Square, town hall, parish church, residences of the nobility and Polish Royal Castle.

Description: In the XIII century the city of Poznań was relocated to the left bank of the Warta River, while its centre – the Old Market Square and the Town Hall – became the symbols of the city self-government. Przemysł I, the ruler of Greater Poland, moved his seat to Przemysł Hill, an area rising above the city, which later became a place of residence for Polish kings visiting Poznań. Inhabitants of Poznań were most proud of Fara Church having the highest steeple in the town. Numerous wars and fires caused the old temple to be dismantled and the city parish moved to the Baroque post-Jesuits church. Its monumental façade and interior are probably the most beautiful representation of Polish Baroque.
