Opole, Administrative center in southern Poland.
The capital of Opole Voivodeship spreads along both sides of the Oder River, containing two islands named Bolko and Pasieka within its boundaries.
The settlement originated in the 8th century as a territorial community, receiving official city rights in 1217 from Duke Casimir I of Opole.
The National Festival of Polish Songs takes place annually since 1963, displaying performances from national musicians at the dedicated amphitheater near Bolko Island.
The central market square features numerous restaurants serving regional Silesian dishes, while nearby streets contain accommodations ranging from hotels to guest houses.
The Piast Tower remains the sole structure from the original castle, standing as a testament to medieval architecture after German forces dismantled the fortress in 1930.
