The Metropolitan Cathedral stands on Lech Hill with two prominent towers, Gothic architecture, and an ambulatory surrounding the main altar section.
The cathedral witnessed the coronation of Poland's first king, Bolesław I the Brave, in 1025 and served as the religious center of medieval Poland.
The cathedral houses the bronze Gniezno Doors from 1170, which display 18 scenes from Saint Adalbert's life through detailed metalwork craftsmanship.
