This place provides a symbolic conclusion to our journey in the footsteps of Nicolaus Copernicus. During our walk together, we have explored places connected with his everyday life, as well as monuments, a street, and banknotes that commemorate his presence in the city. Now we find ourselves at a building dedicated to the study of the sky—the very field that Copernicus was to transform forever.
