    The Cathedral of Saint Apostles Peter and Paul in Legnica is located at Cathedral Square in Legnica. The present building was erected between 1333 and 1380 and a chapel was added in the fifteenth century. In the late nineteenth century the church was converted into the neo-Gothic style. Over the centuries the church has acquired numerous statues and decorative features and now is one of the most impressive cathedrals like that in Poland. Even pope John Paul II who come from Poland visited the cathedral on June 2, 1997.

    The Piast Castle is one of the most important buildings in the city. For over 750 years it was the seat and the symbol of territorial power: Piast dukes, Habsburg starosts, Prussian and German regional offices- I was really amazed it is so interesting. Especially I liked courtyard of the castle.

    The house is located in the central part of the Market Square (nr 37) from the so-called Small Market. It's one of the most valuable and charming buildings of the city.

    The beginnings of the construction of St. Mary church in Legnica date back to the second half of XII century when prince Bolesław the High built a aisleless, wooden church so it is one pf oldest churches in Poland. In 1192, a stone church was built on the site of the previous one, which was destroyed in 1338 because of a fire. Unfortunately I was too late to visit it precisely but it looks really impressive.

    The Old Town district of Legnica has a city market square with a Baroque Town Hall in its middle. Maybe it is not the most beautiful city square like that but still you can find a lot of interesting architecture.

    The fountains of Neptune and Mermaid, known as the Mermaid, located in the Market Square, are the oldest fountains in Legnica. Neptune's Fountain is situated between the cathedral and the Old Town Hall. Originally, there was a water intake in this place, supplied from the municipal water supply, supplied from the water tower over the Młynówka. From 1588 there was a fountain here, the main element of which was the figure of the goddess Cerez. However, it did not survive the seventeenth-century fires of the city. The current Baroque Neptune Fountain has been in operation since 1731.

    If these walls could talk there would be some stories to tell from the past 400 or so years. The Legnica Cultural Center is a multi use building with offices and a school of music. There are concerts and other events hosted here, especially up in the grand ball room. If you have a chance to explore the halls you will find photos of the terrible condition from when the Soviets left the place. Now you can see how much work has gone into restoration to it's current state.

    It is a complex of eight three-story bourgeois apartment buildings from the 16th century, built on the site of former stalls selling herring (hence the name). Four of them were built in the Renaissance style and four more in the classical style.

    Lucky enough to be in Legnica for the week of a Cup and League game. Home team won both matches.
    A very modern functional stadium that is good to watch football from.
    Passionate crowd add hugely to the atmosphere.

    This Renaissance building was built at the beginning of the 15th century. The two-zone sgraffito decoration on the facade comes from 1611. It presents geometric and architectural elements, as well as personifications of seven liberated arts - Grammar, Dialectics, Rhetoric, Music, Arithmetic, Astronomy and Geometry.

    Nice but unimpressive. It is under renovation, but the building itself has probably not been revitalized yet. Note if you are traveling with children by train or you are not very mobile, this renovation is so advanced that it is difficult to navigate the platforms. The station is vast and think about where you are going as one of the underground places leads to the other side, as if outside the main city.

    The Małsoleum of the Piasts of Legnica. Underestimated as seen on Tripadvisor this place. As you can see, I am writing the first review and I will upload a photo of this place. The church itself is huge without a doubt and is surrounded by pretty buildings. In the middle of the church there are the Crypt of the princes of this region in very good condition. The sarcophagi are located in a super beautiful and high room-chapel. Beautifully painted with paintings and many sculptures there.
