Poznań Cathedral, also known as the Archcathedral Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul, is one of the oldest and most significant churches in Poland. Located on the island of Ostrów Tumski in Poznań, it is the presumed site of the first Christian church in Poland, dating back to the 10th century. The cathedral has undergone numerous reconstructions over the centuries, blending various architectural styles such as Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque. It houses the tombs of several Polish monarchs, including the first historical ruler, Mieszko I, and his son, Bolesław I the Brave.
