Olkusz
Poland
Silver has shaped Olkusz for centuries: this medieval town in southern Poland once housed a royal mint and still sits amid active silver-mining country. Its historic centre retains a Gothic basilica, a preserved market square, and remnants of defensive walls, while the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites. The town also holds a Museum of African Studies, an unexpected addition to its heritage offer.
