Głogów, Historic municipality in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland
Głogów is a municipality located on the Oder River in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, combining residential neighborhoods with commercial zones and green spaces along the waterfront. The center features narrow streets lined with multi-story buildings, while the riverbanks offer parks and walking paths for recreation.
The settlement was founded in the 10th century and grew into an important trading post along the Oder River. Over the following centuries, the town changed hands several times between Polish, Bohemian, and German rulers.
The town hosts open-air summer concerts in its main square, where locals gather to listen to music and socialize in the evenings. Students from the local college often meet in cafés along the pedestrian streets that branch off from the marketplace.
Most points of interest and public facilities are located within the town center, which is easy to explore on foot. Visitors planning to see surrounding areas will find bus connections to neighboring towns and regional destinations.
The main square sits above a network of medieval cellars that once served as storage rooms for merchants and are now partly open to visitors. In some of these rooms, the original brick vaulting from the Middle Ages remains visible.
