EXPLORE POZNAN → CULTURE
poznan culture th v2 The Old Town Square was the centre of old Poznań, and to this day is rich in historic architecture, museums and restaurants. Around 60 per cent of the old town was flattened during WWII, though most of the houses were meticulously rebuilt in the 1950s following Baroque and Renaissance styles. Aside from the two concrete carbuncles planted needlessly in the middle, the town square remains one of the most picturesque in Central Europe. Behind the town hall lies the City Scales building that once housed the hardware for weighing merchandise on its way to the market.

Great Theatre - "Teatr Wielki" is a symbol of the history of Polish opera and offers a diverse repertoire of classical and contemporary opera with particular emphasis on the development of Polish opera. In the permanent repertoire are 40 operas and 15 ballets with new projects continually being added to develop the “theatre” as an international venue for Polish and world opera.
