The Cathedral Island (Ostrów Tumski) in Wrocław, Poland, is a place of extraordinary historical and architectural significance. As the oldest part of the city and surrounded by the Oder River, Cathedral Island exudes a fascinating atmosphere of history and spirituality. Highlights include the impressive Cathedral of St. John the Baptist with its majestic towers and the charming streets illuminated by lantern light. The island is a favorite spot for walks, especially at sunset when the light bathes the historic buildings in warm hues. This NFT features a stunning image of Cathedral Island, capturing the serene and majestic beauty of this cultural treasure.
The photo shows the Cathedral Island as reflection in the Oder. On the right you can see the two towers of the cathedral and in front of them the bishopric. The full name of the cathedral, which was built in the Gothic style between 1244 and 1341 AD, is "Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (Polish Archikatedra św. Jana Chrzciciela) of the Archdiocese of Wroclaw".
At almost 100 meters high, the two towers of the cathedral shape the cityscape and are a popular photo opportunity. They come into their own especially during the blue hour and with a bit of luck the water surface of the Danube is so calm that you can even capture their reflection in combination with the towers.
