Płock is a city in central Poland
picturesquely located on a steep Vistula riverbank. It is one of the oldest
Polish cities and a historical capital of Mazovia and true capital of Poland
under Władysław Herman (1079 - 1102).
In Płock there is the Cathedral
Basilica dated back to the 12th century, there is a sarcophagus of two Polish
rulers - Władysław Herman and his son Bolesław Krzywousty. The city is also
famous for the oldest Polish school - more than 800-years old Stanisław
Małachowski High School, the oldest in Poland
Scientific Society (established in
1820) and magnificent, classical City Hall building. Tourist attraction of
Płock is the Zoological Garden beautifully located on the Vistula river
escarpment with impressive collection of poisonous snakes. We cannot forget
about a breathtaking view from the Tumskie Hill, as well as newly opened pier
ad amphitheater. At the same time, historical Płock is the city of modern
industry. Polish Oil Concern "ORLEN" is one of the biggest Polish
companies - a magnate on the market of liquid fuels and petrochemical products
and one of the biggest companies in this part of Europe.
In the picture you can see the
amphitheater which I've mentioned above, as well as some boats and hotels. I
took the picture while standing on the pier ^^ I'm sorry, I do not have a
picture of the town hall.
