The quantity and quality of the landmarks located in Stargard make the town second to none in the west and central Pomerania. The most interesting part is the area of the former medieval town that has given rise to the modern Stargard with 70 000 inhabitants. In order to promote the old town center the “Stargard – Pomerania’s Jewel” tourist route was created. It provides the opportunity to see the most important landmarks that clearly illustrate the uniqueness of the town. The route runs mostly through parks dating back to the 18th and 19th which are situated along monumental embankments, moats, gates, towers and rotundas surpassed only by the ones in Krakow. The church towers reaching to the sky (especially the St. John’s, third tallest in Poland), the most impressive towers and one of only two river gates in Europe can be viewed from a distance and up close. A visit to the breathtaking St. Mary’s Collegiate Church, the most beautiful brick gothic church in Poland, will be a real treat to every tourist.
The Community Center in Stargard, the museum, the Stargard Public Library and the Youth Center provide a variety of cultural events that will satisfy the most demanding audience. The amphitheater, the event hall and the artistic club are a perfect setting for every event depending on its character.
