Glogow: Zamek i most na żywo

The landscape around Głogów is a broad, low-lying stretch of the Oder valley, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The city developed as an important crossing and Piast stronghold, later becoming the seat of the Duchy of Głogów. Its historic centre was devastated during the Second World War, and post-war reconstruction has gradually returned civic life to the Old Town. On Ostrów Tumski, the Gothic Collegiate Church of the Assumption recalls Głogów’s long ecclesiastical tradition, while the Oder remains central to the city’s layout.
