Torun was a small settlement in Chelmno Land (Ziemia Chelminska), a western part of Mazovia, now Torun is one of the most beautiful cities of Poland.
Picturesquely located on the both banks of the Vistula River, at a site of intersection of ancient trade routes, it has been propagating its traditional economy and openness to the world for nearly 800 years.
The gothic buildings of Torun's Old Town, which won the designation of World Heritage Site from UNESCO in 1997, present proof of Torun's centuries-old economic, cultural and intellectual ties with the leading cities of Europe associated in the Hanseatic League.
Parts of Torun’s climate are traditional meetings near the Rafter's Monument, playing his fiddles for the frogs and Nicolaus Copernicus - who "stopped the Sun and moved the Earth". When sightseeing in the home city of the great astronomer, hundreds of thousands of spectators find it a natural thing to attend a spectacle in Planetarium
