Frombork is an old town in Poland that dates back to the 13th century, but it’s main claim to fame is twofold. First, it is a town where Nicholas Copernicus resided–from Frombork he did some of his astronomical observations. Secondly, it is the home of the famous Frombork Cathedral, situated high atop a hill and surrounded by a massive wall–defensive fortifications from an era now past. The Cathedral and its fortifications suffered massively during World War II, but it has since been meticulously restored.
Wojtek and I climbed to the top of the massive, tall tower that overlooks the cathedral and the fortress. From there you can see the town, the Baltic, and quite a lot of the distant area. We also took a look inside of the cathedral, it is beautiful and quite traditional.
You can see my pictures from Frombork here: http://poland.leonkonieczny.com/Albums/Poland%202011/Frombork/index.html. Check out the outside views, the interior of the church, and notice the statue of Copernicus (in the distance) in one of the later outside views.
