Prusice: Goryl Fontanna - Church of St. James the Apostle
Prusice has served as a market town in Lower Silesia since the late 13th century. Its central square preserves the compact form of an old town, with tightly aligned townhouses and the Church of St. James the Apostle as its defining landmark. This brick parish church, dedicated to the patron saint of pilgrims, anchors a centre shaped by local trade and civic life rather than by large-scale urban development. Goryl Fontanna provides a modern focal point in the square. Prusice stands amid the agricultural lowlands north of Wrocław, in the wider landscape of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. The town makes a quiet counterpoint to the regional capital, with everyday life concentrated around the market square.

The Ługa River defines the setting of Prusice — its lowland course passes through a small town set amid the broad agricultural country of Lower Silesia, north of Wrocław. Prusice received town rights in 1287, and its historic core remains organized around the market square. The parish church of St James the Apostle recalls the town’s long-established religious life. As the seat of the urban-rural Gmina Prusice, it also serves the surrounding communities. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Lower Silesia connects regionally.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
