The colorful houses that line the Old Market Square in the Polish city of Poznan are an iconic part of this historic city, which was the first capital of Poland and dates back to the 10th century. Visitors can explore the exhibits at the Museum of Poznan, located within the Town Hall, and also see the town hall clock, whose mechanics feature two clockwork goats that lock horns and butt heads in their daily fight each day at noon. Poznan is also home to a 13th century castle as well as a Gothic-style cathedral built on an island between the banks of the Warta River.
