Greater Poland Voivodeship
Poznań
Poznań links the earliest Piast state and bishopric with a medieval trading city, Prussian imperial urbanism, interwar commerce and the workers’ revolt of June 1956. Rather than a generic old-town walk, this guide follows successive attempts to make Poznań a political centre—and the ways residents reshaped those projects.
