Adam Mickiewicz University is located in the City of Poznañ and was established in 1919. Its original name was the Piast University.
The Ceremony of bestowing the Honorary Degree upon those whom the University Senate has decided to so distinguish is always held in the University's Small Auditorium and all those present may enjoy looking at a famous painting entitled "The Foundation of the Lubrañski Academy in 1519" which has been hanging on the central wall of the Auditorium for quite some time. It was painted by our distinguished 19th century painter, Jan Matejko, in commemoration of the historic event of establishing an institution of higher education in Poznañ in the early part of the sixteenth century. This was the first successful attempt to found an institution of higher learning in Poznañ.However, since the year 1955 the University has been named after Adam Mickiewicz, our greatest Polish Romantic poet of the first half of the 19th century. Today, the University is unquestionably the largest University in Western Poland, which enjoys a very high appreciation on the part of the community of the Wielkopolska Region.

Poznan is one of the largest and most historically important cities in Poland. Its city center area has many shops, cafes, museums, and historical monuments. It is also a thoroughly modern city which hosts many conventions and meetings throughout the year. It is a quick train ride from Berlin and a good place to get some shopping bargains and get a glimpse of Poland if your time is short.

The Old Market is the central point of located here in 1254 new city.
Main point of the Old Market is Town Hall. Beside that you can admire interesting tenement houses, Bamberka well, old pillary, the fountain of Persephone and baroque figure of St. Jan Nepomucen.
First Town Hall was built in the 13th century. However its appearance changed into the Renaissance one after huge fire of the city that took place in 1536.
The new building was designed by an Italian architect J. B. Quadro from Lugano. It was ready in 1560 after 10 years of work.
Interesting tourist attraction of the Poznan Old Town Hall are the billy-goats, which horn each other every noonday on the tower.
Inside the Town Hall there is Museum of the History of Poznan City, where you can see historic monuments of Poznan from the 10th century.
In the cellar there are remnants of the first Town Hall.

Today's appearance of St. Peter's and St. Paul's Cathedral dates from the 14th century, but the first wooden cathedral church was ready in 968.
In the crypt there are some pre-Romanesque and Romanesque remnants of the oldest temples as well as the tombs of the first rulers of Poland (Mieszko I and Boleslaw Chrobry).
There are also many other valuable historic monuments, as main altar from 1512 or pulpit from 1720.
Ostrow Tumski is an island among water of river Warta and Cybina.
This is the oldest part of Poznan city and the place where, as legend says, Poznan was founded.
Archeological research has proved that the foundation took place in the 10th century.
