Гнезно (Польша) - Кафедральный собор
Сайт проекта:
В этом небольшом видео, выходящем за рамки нашей стандартной тематики, показаны некоторые достопримечательности польского города Гнезно. Гнезно - это город в центральной части Польши, первая столица Польши и резиденция первых Польских королей. Именно в Гнезно было образовано первое польское архиепископство, здесь же до 14-го века короновали польских королей, хотя столица Польши к этому времени уже переехала в Краков. С городом Гнезно тесно связана личность и судьба Святого Войцеха, который считается покровителем Польши. Город Гнезно - это популярное место паломничества. И действительно основной достопримечательностью города Гнезно является католический кафедральный собор Успения Пресвятой Девы Марии, основанный в 977 году. Готический храм, дошедший до нашего времени, возводился начиная с 1342 года. Данный собор расположен в самом центре города Гнезно и является чрезвычайно важным памятником культуры и истории Польши, а также одной из наиболее почитаемых католических святынь страны. Собор в Гнезно называют «матерью польских костелов». Базилика с 1931 года, кафедра архиепископа Гнезно, который носит титул примаса Польши, то есть имеет почётное верховенство относительно других польских архиепископов. Таким образом, номинально, кафедральный собор в Гнезно является главным костелом Польши. Кафедральный собор в Гнезно - это непосредственное место коронации пяти польских королей. В наше время в очень богато декорированном главном алтаре храма хранятся мощи Святого Войцеха. Всемирно известны также бронзовые врата 12-го века, украшенные барельефами со сценами жизни Святого Войцеха, которые ранее были главным входом в собор. Ныне в соборе находится копия, а оригинал хранится в музее архиепархии Гнезно. Кроме собора в городе Гнезно имеется еще множество достопримечательностей. К таким достопримечательностям относятся: несколько других католических храмов и монастырей, в том числе очень древних; несколько музеев с очень богатой и ценной экспозицией; весьма примечательная рядовая застройка исторического центра. Все эти достопримечательности города Гнезно и показаны в данном видео. В видео использована аэросъемка, таким образом город Гнезно продемонстрирован с высоты птичьего полета...

The combination of international business travellers attending its numerous trade fairs and the city's huge student population has created a distinctive vibe quite independent of tourism.
Poznań is a town steeped in history, as it was the first capital (with Gniezno) of Poland and seen by many as the birthplace of the Polish nation.

STORYLINE:
As Mexico prepares to welcome Pope Benedict XVI, a new exhibition dedicated to his predecessor John Paul II has opened in the country's capital.
The late pontiff made five visits to Mexico during his 27-year papacy - the first in January 1979 - and souvenirs from his various trips make up much of the exhibition, which runs for three months.
More than 200 exhibits - including personal belongings, paintings and items of clothing - have gone on display, with some flown from as far away as Poland, where John Paul II was born.
The Museum of the Krakow Archdiocese has loaned the majority of items, including the former Pope's bicycle, camping tent and hiking boots.
Pope Benedict XVI is expected to arrive in the Mexican city of Leon next week for a three-day visit.
It will be his first visit to Mexico and his second to Latin America following a trip to Brazil in 2007.

Place to visit... Kozlowka Palace
If you wish to see the only fully authentic Polish aristocratic residence, then you should definitely visit the beautiful Zamoyski Palace in Kozlowka, near Lublin, south-east Poland. Miraculously, it was not destroyed by Nazi Germans or Soviets during World War 2 nor by communists after the war, and preserved its original décor from the turn of 19th and 20th century. Time has stopped here. Fully understandably, the baroque and neoclassical palace-and-park complex in Kozlowka is now one of Poland’s national historic monuments.

SUMMARY
=======
Poland (Polish: Polska [ˈpɔlska] (listen)), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska [ʐɛt͡ʂpɔˈspɔlita ˈpɔlska] (listen)), is a country located in Central Europe. It is divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312,696 square kilometres (120,733 sq mi), and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With a population of approximately 38.5 million people, Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. Poland's capital and largest metropolis is Warsaw. Other major cities include Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk and Szczecin.
The establishment of the Polish state can be traced back to A.D. 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of the realm coextensive with the territory of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented its longstanding political association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest (about 1 million km2) and most populous countries of 16th- and 17th-century Europe, with a uniquely liberal political system which adopted Europe's first written national constitution, the Constitution of 3 May 1791.
More than a century after the Partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century, Poland regained its independence in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles. In September 1939, World War II started with the invasion of Poland by Germany, followed by the Soviet Union invading Poland in accordance with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. More than six million Polish citizens perished in the war. In 1947, the Polish People's Republic was established as a satellite state under Soviet influence.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Poland (Polish: Polska [ˈpɔlska] ( listen)), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska [ʐɛt͡ʂpɔˈspɔlita ˈpɔlska] ( listen)), is a country located in Central Europe. It is divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312,696 square kilometres (120,733 sq mi), and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With a population of approximately 38.5 million people, Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. Poland's capital and largest metropolis is Warsaw. Other major cities include Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk and Szczecin.
The establishment of the Polish state can be traced back to A.D. 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of the realm coextensive with the territory of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented its longstanding political association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest (about 1 million km2) and most populous countries of 16th- and 17th-century Europe, with a uniquely liberal political system which adopted Europe's first written national constitution, the Constitution of 3 May 1791.
More than a century after the Partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century, Poland regained its independence in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles. In September 1939, World War II started with the invasion of Poland by Germany, followed by the Soviet Union invading Poland in accordance with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. More than six million Polish citizens perished in the war. In 1947, the Polish People's Republic was established as a satellite state under Soviet influence.
