My favourite italian city!

Hello!
Today I would like to present you my favourite italian city... I love all Italian Peninsula , but I have to admit that I don't know well South part of the Peninsula so I will write only about my experience and city that I've been to.

My home. I've spent there 5 enjoyable months of my life and I appreciate that city because of it's monuments and museums. I am really keen on art so having opportunity to live in the most beautiful city in the world was a pleasure. I love Michelangelo and Leonardo all Renessaince is extraordinary. If I had to choose where to go to Erasmus once more, I would definitely pick up Florence. That was a marvellous experience which I will never forget. And city... well... it's only disadventage is "ocean of turists", going by bike I was always very attentive not to run over any of them. I didn't live in teh center so every day I had to go by bike more or less 20 minutes to reach my uni.
Even though I was there 5 months I was focused on seeing as much as possible so I really wanted to visit all museum, all houses of famoud people, all parks, all churches, all gelaterias.

Antonio Gaudi. Architectural genius.

A.Gaudi The best thing in Barcelona is definitely ... architecture. I really love nature, beautiful views, culture of Spain. Generally speaking, I have never EVER seen a place with so many marvelous buildings. I think it's all because of modernisme and one of the most illustious architects of Barcelona is Antonio Gaudi. Gaudí devoted his life entirely to his profession, so as a consequence we can now admire his buildings which are artworks.  Sagrada Família Apparently, the first artwork we wanted to see was Sagrada Familia. Despite the fact that Sagrada is incomplete it's UNESCO World Heritage. Well, I am not surprised why. the basilica is just awsome. You look at it's facade and you go into raptures. We decided not to enter inside because of a huge queue.(Next time maybe we will enter :)) Park Guell The next stop was also worth seeing. We decided to go there by foot so it took us a lot of time, but I really appreciate strolling throught new citi...

Let's escape!

Last weekend my friend Artur had birthday so we decided to have fun in escape room! Do you know what is that? Well, in Poznań escape rooms are becoming more and more popular. Nowadays there are 57 escape rooms only in my city! It's so marvelous that everytime I go there I'am very excited. So what is it? Escape room is a logical game, where you have to use your shrewdness, maths skills and be very observant. You are locked in a small room and you have only one hour to escape. You have to find hidden clues, objects, resolve some riddles. Every room has its own story: you can be locked in prison, in psychiatric hospital, in Hogwarts or in the spooky house and you have to do your best to set yourself free. So on Saturday we went to ... the house of vampire. I was so so anxious and panicked because I prefer escape rooms which are not so eerie! Even though the female part of the team was schreeching a lot (I was the first one to scream) I found this game very funny and entertaining! ...

The cathedral island in Poznań

Image
The Cathedral Island in polish is called "Ostrów Tumski" - ostrów in old polish means island and tum means the cathedral. Last Satruday I was with my group there to explore this delightful place. In this area lived dukes, kings, artists and normal people. If you really want to do a tour in Ostrów Tumski you need to have more or less 4 hours. In this encalve there are located monuments like Archaeological Reserve called Genius Loci, psaltery, St. Mary Church, Archcathedral  Basilica and Archibishop Palace. Unquestionably, person who left the most important imprint on this territory is duke Mieszko I. He decided to create a sovereign state and so he adopted Christianity. I was very suprised when I discovered that in Ostrów Tumski was a palace of Mieszko and Dobrawa. This palace symbolised the power of Mieszko I. What's more, in the palace of the duke there was a first polish chapel from the iniciative of his christian wife Dobrawa. From the palace site was erected  St. Ma...
