Raclawice Panorama

|
Wroclaw's most important piece of cultural heritage, the Panorama of the Battle of Raclawice, is also the city's most visited tourist attraction. It is a vast cyclindrical painting designed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the famous Kosciuszko Insurrection, when in 1794 a Polish rebellion defeated the Russian army (a case of winning the battle but losing the war, unfortunately for the Poles!). The painting was moved from Lwow after World War II and is now housed in an impressive (albeit ugly) purpose-built Rotunda, designed especially so that the viewer feels that they are in the midst of the battle. Half-hour long tours start on the half hour, and if your Polish ain't too hot then you can take an audiophone in any major European language. |

The Raclawice Panorama is a breath-taking piece of historical art. Because my roots are in Poland, the experience of standing before it was profound. If you are not from Poland, but appreciate and value true historical art, I encourage you to visit the beautiful panorama and other amazing sights in Wroclaw, Krakow, and other great cities in Poland. The country, from cities to towns, to quaint villages, is stunning. I live in the USA, but Poland will always be held close to my heart.
