Tumski Island in Poznań

Ostrow Tumski
Poland, Poznan
Tumsky Island is located between two branches of the Warta River. It is a historical part of Poznań: the first settlements arose here in the 10th century. The main attraction of the island is the Poznań Cathedral. In its place once stood the first cathedral in Poland, destroyed by the pagans. Among other significant buildings on the island, it is worth noting the Archbishop's Palace and the Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, located opposite it, dated from the 15th century. Since 2008 Tumski Ostrov has been a monument of Polish history.

It was from Tumski Island (on the Warta River and the Tsybina River flowing into it) that the whole history of Poznan began. According to legend, the ancestors of three Slavic peoples met at this place - Lech, Rus and Czech. The brothers immediately recognized each other and very joyfully exclaimed: “Learn! Know! ” (i. e. , they learned). And in memory of the meeting, it was decided to build a city on the Warth and call it Poznań. And according to archaeological excavations, the most ancient population existed here as early as the 10th century.
