1000 Years of the Polish Kingdom
In 1025, Bolesław the Brave was crowned the first King of Poland, marking the birth of the Polish Kingdom.
Long before that moment, the Piast rulers had united the early tribes into one realm.
In 966, the Baptism of Poland opened the way to Christian Europe and gave the young state international recognition.
The coronation of Bolesław crowned both a ruler and an idea, the idea of a sovereign Poland.
A thousand years later, we honor those beginnings filled with unity, faith, and enduring strength.
A thousand years of the Crown.
From faith and courage a nation was born.
And the heart of Poland still beats strong.
