Bardo
Poland, Poland
Bardo in Lower Silesia, Poland, is a historic town founded as a 10th-century Polish defensive gord on a key trade route from Prague through the Sudetes to Wrocław, securing the border with Bohemia under early Piast rulers like Mieszko I. Its castle ruins on Bardzka (Kalwaria) Mountain, built late 13th or early 14th century by Duke Bolko I the Strict and sold in 1301 to a knight from Dzbanów, featured an oval upper castle with a tower and a triangular outer bailey, destroyed by Hussites in 1425 and an earthquake, with excavations uncovering medieval artifacts like silver coins. A pilgrimage site since 1189 with a 10th-century chapel granted to the Knights Hospitaller, it boasts a Baroque church visited by future Pope John Paul II and remains tied to its strategic past amid scenic valleys.
