Private Medieval Tour in Wroclaw
Cathedral Island is the oldest and most spectacular part of Wroclaw. We'll take a short walk through the small island to see and learn it's ancient history, and then we will enter the grand Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. We will explore the Medieval history of the city, including Gothic churches, and historical artifacts.
You will hear stories about the backstabbing families that ruled the city, feuding dukes and bishops, and interesting legends that have shaped our city.
Upon arriving at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist we will learn about its thousand years of history, the Catholic's fight against pagan traditions, and the destruction it has sustained throughout the centuries. We will then take a walk inside the cathedral, where I will tell you about the most magnificent relics it possesses. As we make our way further into the church, we will visit the most well preserved parts: beautifully decorated chapels that have survived since the 17th century.
