Poznań Fara is a Baroque church built for the Jesuits between 1651 and 1701 beside their former college in the Old Town; it became a minor basilica in 2010. Inside are tall Corinthian columns, the 17-metre high altar designed by Pompeo Ferrari and an organ built by Friedrich Ladegast in 1876.
The National Museum in Poznań shows painting and sculpture in an eclectic building from 1904 on Marcinkowskiego Avenue and a newer wing. Its Gallery of Polish Art includes works by Jacek Malczewski, Stanisław Wyspiański and Jan Matejko.
The Enigma Cipher Centre is an interactive exhibition about the Enigma cipher machine and the Poznań-trained mathematicians Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki, who broke its cipher in 1932. It stands on the site where they began work for the Polish Cipher Bureau; a visit with the included audio guide takes about two hours.
Poznań Cathedral on the island of Ostrów Tumski is the oldest cathedral in Poland, founded in 968 when Bishop Jordan arrived. Rebuilt in Gothic form after a fire in 1945, it holds the Golden Chapel, and its crypts show remains of the first church and graves attributed to Mieszko I and Bolesław the Brave.
Fort VII is a 19th-century Prussian fort in Poznań where Nazi Germany opened a concentration camp in October 1939, the first in occupied Poland. The museum counts around 4,500 prisoners who died there. Today the Museum of Martyrdom of the Wielkopolska Region shows the brick casemates, the prisoners' cells and exhibitions on those held here.
