Opole

The Oder River defines the setting of Opole — its broad course and islands shape the city centre, where bridges connect the historic core with riverside quarters. Capital of Opole Voivodeship in south-western Poland, the city belongs to Silesia, a region marked by Polish, German and Czech historical influences. The Gothic Piast Tower, a surviving part of the former Piast Castle, is Opole’s best-known medieval landmark. Each June, the National Festival of Polish Song brings performers and audiences here, underlining the city’s lasting role in Poland’s popular-music culture.
