Comments:
A point in the historic Wroclaw Pathway, a trail that runs along Nankiera Street and describes events of influence in the city’s history

The present sign marks the year 1530 - the name of the city is BRESSLA, and Ferdinand I - the King of Bohemia states the coat of arms of the city used to this day.
On the sign is the name of the city, the city coat of arms and the Latin inscription: ARMA CIVITATIS (probably COAT OF ARMS)
The symbol itself consists of 5 parts: in the center of John the Baptist’s portrait - a patron of Wroclaw and around him a lion symbolizing the symbol of Bohemia, an eagle symbolizing Silesia, the image of John the Evangelist, and the letter W symbolizing Prince Wroclaw the legendary founder of the city.
