Frombork, Medieval port town on Vistula Lagoon, Poland

The fortified Cathedral Hill contains the Gothic Archcathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Andrew with red brick walls and turrets.

Nicolaus Copernicus served as a canon in Frombork from 1512 to 1543, conducting astronomical observations and writing his revolutionary work about the solar system.

The International Festival of Organ Music takes place each summer in the cathedral, featuring performances on the large Baroque instrument within its walls.

The museum complex includes exhibits about astronomy, a planetarium in the Radziejowski Tower, and demonstrations of the Foucault pendulum showing Earth's rotation.

The Water Tower, Church of St Nicholas, and hospital complex of the Holy Spirit form part of the medieval defense system along the Vistula Lagoon.
