We are standing in front of the High Gate, the only surviving gate of Olsztyn’s medieval defensive walls. For centuries, it was the main entrance to the city. Merchants, travelers, and diplomatic envoys passed through here, and in times of danger, so did troops. This is a good place to tell the most dramatic episode from Copernicus’s time in Olsztyn…
