City Suchowola – this is the place where, according to calculations made by Simon Anthony Sobiekrajski in 1775 is a center of Europe.
What is interesting is that Europe has several center points, it all depends on which criteria you choose when calculating. And so in 1989 it was concluded that the center of Europe is in Lithuania. Other countries also undertook to determine the center of Europe in their area, and as such points we find also in Austria, Belarus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The phenomenon of so many centers of Europe contributed to the creation of even the 2004 movie entitled “Centre of Europe”, which beat this topic to death.
For us, it is just a stop along the way. We stopped for a moment in Suchowola and saw the stone placed here for this occasion in the market square. You can see that more and more popular here is another monument – ks. J. Popieluszko below the metal structure of the arc papal.
Children attraction was undoubtedly the fountain on the market. By hook or by crook they wanted to splash their parents.
