Poland always in Europe

For the last thousand years, Poland was the place where cultures from the east and west of Europe would come in contact.

Poles frequently had to defend their independence and to befriend many different countries. Therefore, it is easy to understand how Poland’s national character was forged, one that drives the Poles to staunchly defend their freedom but always to show great tolerance for others.

One thousand years ago, the Polish prince Boleslaus the Brave and the German emperor Otto III met in Gniezno to sign a treaty, the first ever international agreement in this corner of Europe.
