The city was modernizing, and walls and fortifications were no longer needed. Most of them were demolished. From the original arrangement, among others, impressive gothic tower. This 14th-century building was one of three gates guarding the city. Today it is its symbol.
The town hall was probably built shortly after the city became self-governing. The building was built in the late Gothic style on a rectangular plan. Unfortunately, the great fire of 1620 completely destroyed the town hall. Then it was built almost from scratch. The city authorities then occupied the entire floor of the building, while the ground floor was intended for commercial purposes. A tower was also added as a guardhouse. Trade flourished in the basement of the Old Town Hall.
Old town
The market square is the heart of our city. This is where his story began. However, it was not chosen for aesthetic reasons, but for purely practical reasons. The rounded bed of the Łuna River was a natural moat. At the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, they were dug up from the remaining sides, and the city was surrounded by a belt of fortifications with three gates and a dozen towers.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
