 | | In the Polish nation that was being formed, then known as the Gniezno Nation to which a document of oblation from the end of the 10th century is a testimony, Gniezno fulfilled the role of a capital and a center, associated with the Piast dynasty - innate lords of Poland. |
 | | The medieval city of Gniezno was witness to quite a few coronations: Mieszko II, Boles³aw Smialy, Przemyslaw II and Walclaw II the Czech (in 1300). |
 | | Gniezno, however, remained the main worship center of Poland for a long time, and in the period of the regional division, the residence of the archbishopric here symbolized the unity of the country. |
