Wroclaw- The European Capital of Culture

Hi.
As I said in yesterdays post I will much more posts this months because of my long easter break. Today I would like to make the next post about my hometown and write a little about the European Capital of Culture because Wroclaw has begun it this year.

The European Capital of Culture is a city designated by the EU for a period of one calendar year during which it organises a series of cultural events with a strong European dimension. This year Wroclaw and San Sebastian, Spain have a pleasure to be the Capital of Culture. In this link you can see my last post about Wroclaw and popular places and in this post I would like to continue it.
