Frombork. Cathedral Hill. Wzgórze Katedralne. April 2, 2009
Cathedral Hill (Wzgórze Katedralne) is the collective name for Fromborks famed development complex composed of a medieval cathedral, bishopric palaces, diocesan chanceries, defensive walls, towers and keeps. Dating from at least the 14th century, this was where Copernicus was believed to have worked, and is therefore something of a shrine for Copernicus fanatics the world over. Remarkably, Cathedral Hill was practically the only part of Frombork left standing at the end of the Second World War.
Frombork's massive 14th-century Gothic Cathedral (1329 - 1388) is the main focal point of the town. A masterpiece of brickwork, the breathtaking interior is packed with Baroque altars and tombstones, and features a gigantic 17th-century Baroque organ, one of the most famous organs in the country. Recitals are often given, and the Cathedral plays host to an annual organ festival during the summer.

KOPERNIK I TORUŃSKI PIERNIK
O tym jak rajcy dzwon odlali. Kto smyknął wskazówkę? O krzyżackich uczynkach jak wieża krzywych. Dlaczego Kopernik dla Torunia zbyt małym był? O pół Szwedzie, pół Niemcu, który słownik polskiego napisał.

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
=======
Nicolaus Copernicus (; Polish: Mikołaj Kopernik; German: Nikolaus Kopernikus; Niklas Koppernigk; 19 February 1473 – 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance-era mathematician and astronomer from Poland, who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe, in all likelihood independently of Aristarchus of Samos, who had formulated such a model some eighteen centuries earlier.The publication of Copernicus' model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his death in 1543, was a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making a pioneering contribution to the Scientific Revolution.Copernicus was born and died in Royal Prussia, a region that had been part of the Kingdom of Poland since 1466. A polyglot and polymath, he obtained a doctorate in canon law and was also a mathematician, astronomer, physician, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat, and economist. In 1517 he derived a quantity theory of money—a key concept in economics—and in 1519 he formulated an economic principle that later came to be called Gresham's law.
