Wroclaw is an excellent example of a multicultural metropolis situated in a historically important part of Poland. Here, in Wroclaw, influences from German, Czech and Polish cul tures have contributed to building this unique atmosphere. Multiculturalism again left a very deep impact on the Wroclaw character after the II World War, when the German population of Wroclaw was largely replaced by people arriving from various regions of Poland, including those who resettled from the eastern provinces of Poland taken over by the Soviet Union. In particular, many former citizens of Vilnius and Lvov settled here in Wroclaw.
Becose of them Wroclaw inherited the great library collection of the Ossolinski Institution. Two other works of unique significance for Polish culture were transfered to Wroclaw from Lvov: the statue of the leading Polish comic dramatist, Count Aleksander Fredro, and one of the most recognizable attractions of Wroclaw - the Panorama of the Battle of Raclawice (a monumental painting that represents the victorious battle of the Tadeusz Kosciuszko revolt over the Russian ). It took over 35 years before it was possible to show the Panorama to the public, but today it is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Wroclaw. |
