Bus OLAWA - NYZHNI VOROTA - Sindbad

Olawa is a city in Lower Silesia province, in the Wroclaw agglomeration. The town, located on the Oława (known as the Olawka) and Odra rivers, and currently home to about 33,000 residents, traces its history back to the 12th century and the Middle Ages.

The most important attraction in the city is the Piast Castle in Olawa, also known as Luisa's Palace. It was erected on the site of Prince Louis I's former Gothic hunting lodge from the late 14th century and has been rebuilt several times over the years. Olawa's town hall dates from the first half of the 19th century. On its Baroque tower, a remnant from the previous town hall, is a 17th-century figural-astronomical clock with moving figures. Inside is the worthwhile Museum Chamber of Olawa Land, a small regional museum that collects antiquities, coins and postcards from Olawa and the surrounding area, as well as a collection of militaria or exhibitions of sculptures and ceramics by local artists. Several beautiful Baroque townhouses can also be seen in the area.

It is worth taking a walk in the city park located in the southern part of Olawa along the Olawka River. There is also an old Jewish cemetery nearby with dozens of preserved matzevot. Also awaiting visitors to the city is the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of Consolation, the oldest church in Olawa with remnants of a Gothic chancel from around 1300 and several valuable monuments of sacred art.
