Tabula
Cieszyn lies on the Olza river, which since 1920 has formed the border between Poland and the Czech Republic. What was once a single town is now two: Cieszyn on the eastern bank and Český Těšín on the western. From above, the river runs between them like a seam, crossed by several bridges.
The Polish side holds the historic core. Castle Hill rises above the river, with the Romanesque Rotunda of St Nicholas and the Piast Tower, while the market square and the tightly packed old town streets climb gently towards the east. The rotunda is familiar to many Poles from the 20 złoty banknote.
A local legend says the town was founded by three brothers who met at a spring, still marked by the Well of Three Brothers. A Cieszyn map poster shows a town that is both divided and connected, with the river at its centre and the old town clustered just above.
The river separates Cieszyn from Český Těšín and marks the national border, running through the middle of the wider town and crossed by bridges that join the two sides.
Castle Hill rises above the riverbank, a green, wooded rise holding the Rotunda of St Nicholas and the Piast Tower, and it anchors the western edge of the old town.
The historic market square sits at the heart of the old town, with narrow streets leading out from it, forming a compact, irregular pattern typical of Central European towns.

Cur Cieszyn
Cieszyn appeals to anyone drawn to border towns, to history, or to the people of Cieszyn Silesia. A map of both banks of the Olza is a meaningful image for families with ties on either side of the river.
