Gliwice, Educational and industrial center in Upper Silesia, Poland
The city stretches along the Klodnica River, featuring a medieval layout with preserved city walls and a central market square surrounded by townhouses.
The city underwent control changes from Polish dukes to Habsburg and Prussian rule until 1945, when it returned to Polish administration.
The Silesian University of Technology, established in 1945, educates over 20,000 students and maintains research facilities across multiple scientific disciplines.
Two major motorways, A1 and A4, intersect in Gliwice, connecting the city to the Upper Silesian metropolitan area and other Polish regions.
The Gliwice Radio Tower, standing at 110 meters, ranks as the tallest wooden structure in the world and operates as a museum.
