Visit historic cementeries at Cytadela Park

 

In the autumn we visit cemeteries more often and reflect on life. Strolling through Poznan, you can stay longer in the Citadel Park and discover the historic cemeteries there.

 

In 2008, a thorough renovation of the cemetery was carried out, during which the destroyed tombstones were restored. Today on the Citadel there are: the former St. Mary's Parish Cemetery, the Garrison Cemetery, the War Cemetery of the Heroes of the Soviet Union, the War Cemetery of the British Community, the Cemetery of the Polish Heroes and the remains of the former Old Gothic Cemetery, the German Cemetery of Honor, and the Orthodox Cemetery and the German soldiers' quarters. There are also graves and monuments of Napoleon soldiers, WWI soldiers, scouts and victims of Poznań Uprising - June 1956.

Join the parade on Święty Marcin Day

 

November 11th is one of the most interesting days in Poznań. It is not only the Independence Day but also the Day of Saint Martin. His coming to Poznań in Medieval times is surrounded by a legend and is one of the reasons for Saint-Martin croissants – famous and delicious treats from our region. The festival usually starts with the cheerful parade after which the keys to the city are handed over to the Saint Martin. It is time of concerts and fun. It is the best opportunity to try our croissants and visit the ingenious Sain-Martin Croissants Museum.

See an interesting exhibition

 

Cultural life flourishes in Autumn. The art galleries do their best to attract art-hungry visitors. In The Old Brewery, in its Gallery on the Courtyard great painter, poster and stage designer Ryszard Kaja has his posthumous exhibition. Poznań Photoplasticon shows unique pictures of Poznań on the edge of 19th and 20th century, when (then) Prussian POSEN was kind of a different city… For those less serious MIMI store on Słowackiego Street prepared the miniatures of Poznań built of LEGO bricks. Ethnography Museum reminds of the 300th anniversary of coming the Bamberg people to our city which is the example of the perfect immigration.

After holidays the artists come back to the stages to amaze the audience. In the Grand Theatre (Opera) its premiere will have Anhelli – visionary libretto based on poem by splendid Polish writer Juliusz Słowacki. Also, Manru returns to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Wielkopolskie Uprising.

Go back to the times of Fortress Poznań

 

Did you know that Poznań is surrounded by 19 forts, built by Prussians to protect the Empire from the possible attacks from the East? Today, some of them are ruined but some invite to learn the history of the Fortress Poznań. We recommend espacially Forts III, Va, VI and VII. The last one served as the first concentration camp on the Polish lands and functiones as a Museum of Martyrology of Wielkopolska.
