Water Gate

Do you hear that quiet murmur? That's the Nysa Kłodzka and Bystrzyca Łomnicka rivers, which have flowed around Bystrzyca for centuries. And right on the bank, blended into the landscape, stands the Water Gate. Perhaps not as grand as the Knights' Tower, nor as bustling as the Kłodzko Tower, but for me, it means the most. It holds secrets of access to the city that other gates did not know.

Imagine a medieval city. Surrounded by thick walls, with mighty gates on the main routes. And with a river. A river, though a natural obstacle, could also be a path. And that's why, in the 14th century, the Water Gate was built, leading from the river towards the market square. It served not only merchant caravans or armies. It was also a gate for those who used the river.

How it working

To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.

STEP 1

You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.

STEP 2

After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.

STEP 3

The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!

STEP 4

Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.

Project partners

Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.

Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
