St Mary’s Cathedral is a fascinating place. It is the world’s largest brick church. It also has an interesting interior, painted in stark white by Lutherans, replacing the original colourful interior to align more with their values. The ceiling is dotted with golden stars, which we read were inserted in honour of people who donate to the church. The church is also home to a unique clock made around the 1400s. Legend has it that the clock was so beautiful that the community did not want him to make another one, so they blinded him. The clockmaker killed himself by jumping from atop his creation.

This gothic gate has survived centuries of prosperity and conflict to frame the Mariacka street in Gdańsk. The street is covered with gargoyle-like figures located at the entrances of shops and homes.

The prison tower served many different purposes across the centuries in protecting the city as well as holding dissenters and torturing them. Currently, it is home to the Amber Museum. Amber is very popular in Poland and is sold and exhibited throughout the country's north.

Westerplatte is considered to be the origin of World War 2 due to the fact that German soldiers attacked this place in September 1939. We took a bus to Westerplatte at night. We saw the entire structure lit up in the night through the wind. We saw the burials of the soldiers who had lost their lives in Westerplatte. So many of them were just our age. Young and hopeful.
