Seven Wonders of Poland
21.09.2007
Rzeczpospolita, one of the major Polish newspapers, has published results of an Internet survey for the most valuable and recognizable historic monuments in the country. The list titled The Seven Wonders of Poland shows the Wieliczka salt mine at the top, slightly ahead of the Old Town complex in Torun and the medieval castle of the Teutonic knights in Malbork and the royal Wawel castle in Krakow. Next came the Ostrodzko-Elblaski Channel linking hundreds of lakes of north-eastern Poland, the renaissance town of Zamosc and the Main Market Square and Old Town in Krakow. The Seven Wonders of Poland have been chosen by 82 thousand voters in a three week e-plebiscite. They could pick from among a list of 27 sites compiled by a group of renowned architectural experts.
No.2 - Old Town in Torun
No.3 - Castle in Malbork
No.4 - Wawel - the Royal Castle in Krakow
No.5 - Elblag Channel
No.6 - Zamosc - the Renaissance city
No.7 - Main Square in Krakow
I’ve seen that salt mine last year and it is absolutely cool; I’ve never seen anything like it.
I didn’t know about any of these, thank you.
Thanks.
I’ve been to Krakow and would go back if I could. What a great place with nice people.
Gorgeous!
What beautiful architecture.
Poland looks like a lovely place to live; very clean and neat.
But where is Gdansk with its Old Town?
Old Town in Gdansk has got the 8th place, and Jasna Gora - 9th.
