Wroclaw Cathedral is located on Tumski Island. The first building here dates back to the 5th century. Then the cathedral was rebuilt in the Romanesque style, later it was converted into the Gothic. It is interesting that in ancient times, when passing over the bridge to the island, which was also called the "holy Wroclaw land", it was necessary to remove the headgear. This tradition was followed even by the illustrious princes and other nobles.
