Porta Posnania (Polish: Brama Poznania ICHOT) is an interactive heritage center in Poznań dedicated to the history of Cathedral Island (Polish: Ostrów Tumski) the most ancient district of the city, in particular, the role that this place played in the times of the formation of the Polish Statehood. The opening took place on May 1, 2014. Porta Posnania consists of two parts: the main concrete building (on the Śródka side) and the 19th century Cathedral Lock, which are connected by a glass footbridge over river Cybina. The Porta Posnania is a brand of the Poznań Historical Heritage Center, a local cultural institution of the city of Poznań, and at the same time is its residence.[1][2][3][4]

History

The idea of creating a new interactive heritage center was connected with the extensive program of revitalization of the Śródka district “Poznań Development Plan for 2005-2010”. At the same time, a new tourist product called the Poznań Royal-Imperial Route (Polish: Trakt Królewsko-Cesarski) was being created, which included Porta Posnania. On March 9, 2009, an international competition was announced for the construction of the Interactive Center for the History of Cathedral Island. 26 projects were presented at the competition, in which Kraków-based studio Ad Artis Architects won. The exhibition project was developed by the Belgian company Tempora SA, which specializes in designing narrative exhibitions.The process of creating the exhibition was supervised by the archaeologist professor Hanna Kóčka-Krenz, who discovered the palas of Mieszko I - the first ruler of Poland.[5][6][7]

Architecture

The authors of the project are architects: Arkadiusz Emerla and Maciej Wojda from Kraków studio Ad Artis Architects.[8] Porta Posnania is a complete urban complex which consists of the main building in the shape of a concrete minimalist cube, the 19th cathedral lock (where Śluza Gallery is currently located) and the pedestrian bridge (that connects these two buildings), the amphitheater over the river Cybina, the entrance to the main building in the form of a zigzak, a park with plane trees and concrete benches and a parking for visitors. Inside, the main building is divided into two parts by a long corridor with a glass ceiling. The upper floors of the exhibition are connected by glass bridges. Passing from hall to hall at the exhibition on these bridges, visitors can see through the window the cathedral, which is located on Cathedral Island opposite the Porta Posnania.[9][10][1]

Śluza Gallery

The Cathedral Lock is a historical fragment of the former Poznań Fortress, built in 1834-1839, which was part of a non-existent military hydraulic structure. Today, the Cathedral Lock has been converted into a "Śluza Gallery" that hosts temporary exhibitions and master classes[13]
