Wrocław: Wieża ciśnień Borek we Wrocławiu - St Augustine's Church
Wrocław combines a long ecclesiastical tradition with the fabric of a modern regional capital in a way that reflects its position on the Oder in Lower Silesia. St Augustine’s Church is a major Catholic landmark in the city’s southern districts, while Wieża ciśnień Borek, the Borek Water Tower, recalls the municipal infrastructure that supported Wrocław’s expansion. Around them, residential streets, apartment blocks and public buildings trace the layered growth beyond the Old Town. Wrocław has long stood at a crossroads of Central Europe; its selection as European Capital of Culture in 2016 underlines its continuing cultural role. The city’s islands and bridges on the Oder remain central to its identity.
