The People's Hall (Hala Ludowa) was designed by the Modernist architect Max Berg and inaugurated in 1913 when the 100th anniversairy of Napoleon's defeat at Leipzig was celebrated. At that time the hall was known as Century Hall.
Its cuploa has an inner diameter of 65 m and is 42 m high, so at the time of construction it was the largest building of its kind.
Nowadays the 7000 seater hall is mainly used for exhibitions and all sorts of cultural events.
Even the pope spoke here in 1997. Since 2006 the hall is on the UNESCO world heritage list. The grounds around the hall include a 96 m high metal needle which was a "gift from the Soviet people".
Directions:
The People's Hall is situated between the Szczytnicki Park and the Zoo on the right bank of the Odra river just east of the city centre. Several buses (#145, #146) and trams (#2, #4, #16) serve the area. Leave a Comment

The Market Hall (Hala Targowa) is a modern Brick Gothic building which was completed in 1908. On the ground level you find stalls full of homemade Polish delicacies, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. There even is a small cafe near the entrance.
From the upper level with its handicraft stalls you have a nice view down on the bustling market activities.
Directions:
The Market Hall is located at the corner of Piaskowa Street and Ducha street, just in Wroclaw's Old Town (Stare Miasto). There is a busy tram stop right in front of the Market Hall. Leave a Comment

The St. Elisabeth Church (Kosciol sw. Elzbiety) is one of the oldest churches in Wroclaw. The Gothic building dates back to the 14th and 15th century. Its 91 m tall belfry can be climbed for one of the best views over the city centre (entrance 5 Zloty, 2006).
The original church tower was 128 m high and the tallest in the city, but it fell down in a storm in 1529.
Directions:
The St. Elisabeth Church is situated right in Wroclaw's touristy centre. It can be found near the northwestern corner of the Market Square (Rynek). Leave a Comment

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (Katedra p.w. sw. Jana Chrzciciela) dominates the silouette of the Ostrow Tumski district.
Construction of this double-spired Gothic building started in the middle of the 13th century and continued until the 16th century. About 70 % of the church were destroyed during WWII.
The left belfry includes a lift to a magnificient viewing platform. Unfortunately the right tower was scaffolded when I visited Wroclaw in May 2006.
Directions:
The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist can be found at the eastern end of the Cathedral Street
(Katedralna) in the Ostrow Tumski district. Leave a Comment

Ostrow Tumski is the oldest part of Wroclaw and the seat of church authorities. It used to be an island until 19th century, when part of the Odra's bed was filled. After being destroyed in World War II it was rebuilt to become one of the most beautiful complexes of sacral architecture. In 1997 during the great flood that destroyed a big part of Wroclaw, Ostrow lived through very dramatic moments. Luckily, thanks to inhabitants who raised the embankments by two metres using the foil and sacks with sand, it was rescued. Leave a Comment
