Guided Story
Imagine standing atop the Town Hall Tower, with a gentle breeze brushing against your face. Look down, and you'll see the maze-like streets sprawling below. Just to your left, a short distance away, is the Silesian Museum, a testament to the area's rich history. But now, lift your gaze and take in the view stretching out before you. This panorama has captivated many visitors over the years. There's a curious tale of an old clockmaker who once placed a sundial here, high on the tower, to tell time to the townsfolk. If you look carefully, you might still spot traces of that sundial. A little tip: the city glows with a special magic in the evening light.
