About
The Cathedral Island (Ostrów Tumski, [ˈɔstruf ˈtumski], Dominsel, [ˈdoːmɪnzəl]) is the oldest part of the city of Wrocław in south-western Poland. It was formerly an island (Old ostrów) between branches of the Oder River. Today it is the city's popular tourist destination. The Cathedral Island in Wrocław is one of the few remaining places in Europe where a lamplighter lights the gas street lamps every evening.
