Rawicz, Administrative center in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Rawicz is a city in Greater Poland with a regular chessboard-like street pattern arranged around the central town hall. The entire city center follows this geometric layout, which distinctly shapes the townscape.
The city received its charter in 1638 from King Władysław IV Vasa as a settlement for Protestant refugees fleeing Silesia during the Thirty Years' War. This founding made it a refuge for religiously displaced people during this turbulent period.
The Museum of Rawicz Land in the town hall building displays exhibits about the region's past and documents the importance of textile crafts to the local economy. The displays show how this industry shaped people's lives in the area.
The city lies near roads S5 and DK 36, which offer direct connections to the major cities of Wrocław and Poznań. From here, visitors can easily travel to larger regional centers.
The Planty Park of John Paul II forms a continuous green belt around the city center, created from the site of former defensive fortifications. This park shows how old defensive structures were transformed into green spaces for today's residents.
