Poland has got sixteen voivodships (regions). We live in Lublin region which is in the south-east of the country. Lubin is the biggest city in Lublin region and this is the city where we live.

Poland joined the European Union in May, Since then a lot of things have changed in our country.

Lublin is a beautiful, modern European city with a long and rich history. It was first mentioned in chronicles in 1197.

Here you can see the emblem of our city – the ram and the vine. There are many legends about Lublin and its symbols.
