Wroclaw

Wroclaw is a city in southwestern Poland; the historical capital of the region of Silesia. It lies next to the Oder River in the Silesian Lowlands of Central Europe. The population of the Wrocław metropolitan area is around 1.25 million as of 2023. Wroclaw dates back over 1,000 years and was incorporated into many kingdoms over that period, including under the Habsburg monarchy. Being that Wroclaw is close to the Czech Republic, it has some roots with that region.
