SlupskSlupsk, a pleasant town in the north of Poland, is not an obvious tourist draw, even though it has rich history dating back to 8th and 9th century with traces still preserved in numerous buildings and monuments. The architectural attractions are reason enough to visit Slupsk, but what really makes the city special is its unique blend of history and present. Slupsk ought to be described as a musical city, with its annual International Festival of Organ and Chamber Music as well as the Polish Piano Festival.

As Slupsk is favourably located close to the seaside and major transit roads, most travellers pass through the city in the summer months on their way to the Baltic resorts of Leba, Ustka, Darlowo, Jaroslawiec and Rowy. Yet those who decide to stay longer are not in for a disappointment. Indeed, in the opinion of many people, Slupsk is the most beautiful city of northern Poland.
GEOGRAFÍA
A provincial capital of Central Pomerania (a region in the north Poland), Slupsk is picturesquely situated on both banks of the river Slupia. It has been the capital of Slupsk County in the Pomeranian Voivodship since 1999, and earlier was the capital of the voivodship.
HISTORIA
Slupsk started out in the 11th century when Slavonic merchants and craftsmen established a fortified settlement, with ships sailing up the Slupia river harbouring there. In the 12th and 13th century the city, Castellania Slupensis, belonged to Slawno Duchy and around 1230 was united with Pomerania and its capital of Gdansk. |
