Śródka, Poznań

It lies on the right bank of the Warta river, opposite the island of Ostrów Tumski where the city's cathedral is situated.

Its name is related to the Polish word środa ("Wednesday"), this being the day of the weekly market once held there.

On the north-west corner of the square is an Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, founded in 1665, the present building dating from the late 18th century.

The mural refers to a history of the neighbourhood and features some local characters such as a butcher, a trumpeter as well as Władysław Odonic, the Duke of all Greater Poland.

[2] On the eastern edge of Śródka is the church of St. Kazimierz, built for the Franciscans in 1685, with a monastery added in 1704.
