We have now turned left from yesterday's post and are two blocks away on the parallel street of Ul. Żeglarska. In the distance you can see the jewel of Toruń...the Cathedral of Saints' Johns with its recently restored clock. The cathedral itself, is currently undergoing extensive renovation. The lavish building on the right is Palac Dąmbskich, which was built in the late 17th Century and is famous for its Baroque facarde. Behind us is yet another city wall gate, and beyond that is the mighty River Vistula.

TORUŃ BY NIGHT: Żeglarska street

Fight! Fight! Fight!
Yesterday on a beautifully hot spring day, the citizens of Toruń were treated to a real spectacle. A re-enactment team of 17th Century Polish soldiers entertained the crowds with some colourful sword play. The event took place in the moat that lines the Old city walls of Toruń. There was also an archery contest, strong man competition and authentic old Polish food for the crowds to enjoy. And enjoy they did!
