Art, Splendor, and Science - Wroclaw University Tour

During the 1 hour tour you will dwell into the rich history of Wroclaw reflected in one of its most prominent and spectacular buildings. You will learn about the Austrian legacy, the counter reformation, and admire the grand Baroque ceremonial hall named after the school's founder, Aula Leopoldina. Strolling through other interiors such as the Oratorium Marianum and the Imperial staircase, full of sculptures and intricate ceiling frescoes, you will understand what kind of powerful ideological movement the counter-reformation was. Moving on you will also hear about the Prussian-German University, with its long standing traditions of student fraternities, scientists, Nobel prize winners, and world famous musicians, such as Johannes Brahms, who gave concerts in its interiors. As a conclusion you will get a spectacular view over the city from the Mathematical Tower learning about the destruction of the WW II, border changes, and rebirth of the school as a Polish University of Wroclaw.
