Pierwsze mury miejskie okalały Płockie Stare Miasto prawdopodobnie już na początku XIII wieku. W średniowieczu uważano bowiem, że każde ważniejsze miasto powinno mieć obwarowania, inaczej będzie ośrodkiem pozbawionym większego znaczenia.
Początkowo były one ziemno-drewniane, przez co łatwe do sforsowania. Wykorzystywali to najeźdźcy, głównie Litwini, którzy kilkukrotnie wdzierali się do środka doszczętnie łupiąc miasto.
Na podstawie przywileju z 1353 r. wydanego przez Króla Kazimierza Wielkiego Płock został otoczony grubym, wysokim murem ceglanym, którego budowa w przeważającej części została sfinansowana przez króla. Płock był bowiem miastem świeżo włączonym do królestwa i władcy szczególnie zależało na jego bezpieczeństwie.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
Are you interested in implementing the project in your city? Want to learn more? Want to learn more? Write to us, call us! We'll contact you and arrange a meeting. We'll prepare materials and a proposal for you.
