About
The Cathedral Island (Polish: Ostrów Tumski, [ˈɔstruf ˈtumski], German: Dominsel, [ˈdoːmɪnzəl]) is the oldest part of the city of Wrocław in south-western Poland. It was formerly an island (Old Polish: 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.
