We cannot have a website about Toruń without showing its most famous resident - Nicolaus Copernicus. After all, the astronomer, who discovered that the Sun (rather than the Earth) is at the centre of our solar system, was born here in Toruń back in 1473. Today, the city prides itself on this knowledge and many things are named after him (including the city's university, a renowned gingerbread factory and most recently a new shopping mall).Here the statue of Copernicus (erected in the 19th Century) stands proudly this morning under the gothic splendour of the Town Hall tower. As you can see Spring is still here!!!
