SZCZECIN, POLAND
ЩЕЦИН, ПОЛЬША

Szczecin is the capital and largest city of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in northwestern Poland. Located near the Baltic Sea and the German border, it is a major seaport and Poland's seventh-largest city. The city's recorded history began in the 8th century as a Lechitic Pomeranian stronghold, built at the site of the Ducal castle. Over the long course of its history Szczecin has been a place of birth and of residence for many famous individuals, including Empress Catherine the Great of Russia (Sophie Auguste Friederike von Anhalt-Zerbst). Szczecin's architectural style is due to trends popular in the last half of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century: Academic art and Art Nouveau. The Old Town was rebuilt in the late 1990s, with new buildings, some of which were reconstructions of buildings destroyed in World War II. The National Museum in Szczecin is the largest cultural institution in West Pomerania, taking care of over 150 thousand objects including works of old and contemporary art and relics of archaeology, nautology, ethnography and numismatics. Szczecin was a candidate for the European Capital of Culture in 2016.
