Europe: Wrocław

I recently returned home from Europe.  I will be posting some of the photos I took so you can all know about my time over there.  Here are some photos from Poland.

This one was taken from the market square in Wrocław.  Each of these buildings is most likely older than our country.  They have all received new paint jobs and look nice and modern.  You'll notice the storefronts at the street level.  These are all little restaurants with outdoor seating.  The one with the red canopy is a Pizza Hut.

Here is a cathedral near the center of the city.  There is a spiral staircase going up the right side of the tower.  It is very steep and narrow but the view from the top is nice.

...see!

Can you see the castle in the middle (and extending to the left)?  This actually functions as the Courthouse and Prison.  "Be good or they'll throw you in the castle!"

...one last shot from the cathedral.

This is one of the cooler and more distinctive buildings in the city.
