Oliwa, Administrative district in Gdańsk, Poland
The district extends over 18.68 square kilometers and contains the Metropolitan Cathedral, Palace of Abbots, and extensive municipal zoological gardens.
The area originated in 1186 as a Cistercian monastery village, receiving its name from the olive tree, a religious symbol for the monastic order.
The Metropolitan Cathedral holds international organ music festivals and contains twenty-three altars decorated in Baroque and Rococo styles.
The district connects to Sopot in the north and features multiple transportation options, including tram lines and railway connections to central Gdańsk.
The Water Forge, dating from 1597, maintains its original water-powered metalworking mechanisms and now serves as a venue for cultural events.
