Szczecin

Located in the north-west portion of Poland, on the Oder River, Szczecin is an important port and north-Pomerania’s largest city.

Szczecin’s old-city contains numerous monuments. The former Pomeranian ducal castle functions today as a cultural centre. The “Seven-Coats” Bastion dates back to the 13^th century. The Gothic style St. Jacob’s Cathedral is one of the city’s most imposing buildings.

Of the former buildings in the Stary Rynek (Main Square), the Gothic style town-hall, and, on the opposite side of the square, the Gothic style house of the banker Lociza, are still  standing.

Szczecin is also an important sport-centre for sailing enthusiasts.
