Snapshots of Lublin before Christmas

Enter the magic of Lublin's old town as snowflakes fall, with Solstice approaching.


Let's step through the Trinitarian Gate (Wieża Trynitarska) and explore, making the Most of the atmosphere...


Dusk descends upon the town, as it would have done in centuries past, time to settle in for a late lunch after four business meetings... The building to the left is the old town hall.


And then explore the back streets...


Before returning to the main square... Here is the house of the 16th century poet, Sebastian Klonowicz.


Evidence of Christmas festivities in the square, more people...


Brama Krakowska, the Kraków gate, the westerly entrance the old town.


Passing out of the old town, across the way from Brama Krakowska is the new town hall. Beyond is Krakowskie Przedmieście, which leads to Plac Litewski.


Final photo - the facade of the Archcathedral of St John the Baptist and St John the Evangelist. And the Glory of God Shone Around.
