TORUN, for hundreds of years known as "the queen of the Wisła" (Vistula River), is a medieval town founded in the 13th century. The old city contains well-preserved walls, gates, townhouses and granaries; the ruins of a Teutonic castle; and a Rynek (market square) dating to the middle ages.
It is the birthplace of the scientist Nicholas Copernicus and site of a modern university bearing his name. Torun boasts a rich cultural history celebrated in its architecture, galleries and museums. During the summer, music, theatre and film festivals are often hosted. The City of Torun is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
