3 Orła Białego square in Szczecin

3 Orła Białego square in Szczecin is home to the Ionic Palace, a historic neoclassical tenement building in Poland’s Szczecin, set in the Old Town neighbourhood at 3 White Eagle Square. The building dates back to the 18th century and was expanded at the beginning of the following century. Today, it serves as one of the faculty buildings of the Szczecin Art Academy, so it offers a short sightseeing stop with a touch of local history.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• a look at the building’s neoclassical character, which gives the façade a formal, elegant look typical of the period;
• a chance to trace the history of the house from its 18th-century origins to the enlargement carried out at the start of the next century;
• a walk through the Old Town area of Szczecin, with the added context that the building is now used by the Szczecin Art Academy.

For a visit here, it is worth combining the stop with a walk around the Old Town, especially if you enjoy historic urban architecture. Comfortable shoes will help, since this is best experienced as a short city stroll rather than a long attraction visit. It is a good choice for travelers who like compact sightseeing and places where old architecture still has a living function.
