Small city in Greater Poland with nice market square - great place to have a rest while cycling. One of the most characteristic monuments is Napoleon’s Gate.

Triumphal arch located in Ślesin, on the road to Sompolno. The arch was built by the inhabitants of Ślesin in 1811 or 1812 in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte. The residents hoped that this was where he would pass, attacking Russia. The emperor probably did not see the building. ~ follow Wikioedia.
