Holy cow!! I didn`t know that Polish small towns are so beautiful. At least seen from up there. As they say, the grass is always greener on the other side... Bochnia  Jawor  Kościan  Krotoszyn  Ostróda  Ostrzeszów  Rzeszów  Every year this country is getting prettier and prettier. I love it so much! |

Most towns and even cities have retained their original medieval shape, at least in the center. We can easily see how Pszczyna looked 600 years ago. Using our imagination we can see the walls which encircled the streets and houses in the shape of an oval.....  In Gniew we needn`t imagine anything, some parts of old walls are still there...  |

Firstly, I have chosen good-looking towns for the last post. hahahahaha Believe me, there are also views that are not too impressive.... Secondly, pollutiion and greyish walls are not seen at such a distance. Take your time, relax! No need to hurry! Biskupin is not a hare, it won`t run away! hahahahahahahahaha |

The Streets of this town almost look identical to my fotos of Biasky Bialy...interesting. and also many of the squares seem to look identical so if you did not give a name they could pass for one another. Do you have one same architect planning all cities.

Jaga I was thinking of the exact same question. I too saw no dirt, garbage slum type of images. Not like here. Even the windows always have flowers no matter how poor.

Do you have one same architect planning all cities. It`s not us!!!! It`s those Germans again!!!!! A German is to blame and a Pole is held responsible! It is unfair!!! In 10-12 century Germans designed a clever arrangement and organization of town settlements. Their idea spread to many parts of Europe with christian civilization. Most old Polish cities and towns were settled on German town rights and even up tp 50% of their initial population were German colonists. The German town law continued till 19 century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_town_lawCities with German city rights often had similar layouts. Somewhat isolated was part of the city contained the residence and castle of the regional ruler, along with a cathedral. The city proper was centered around a market square which featured a church for wealthy merchants and artisans. Streets led out from the market in a planned grid system or concentric circles in which less wealthy citizens lived; riverfront sections of a city were designed with semicircles. The perimeter of the city was guarded by defensive walls, gates, and moats. If the city had already existed as a settlement, pre-existing defenses were sometimes incorporated into the fortifications. Cities whose layouts depict this type of urban planning include Wroc³aw, Kraków, Vienna, Brno, and Prague. |
