A spacious and good-sounding theater that emanates a good atmosphere in its finishes and halls, apart from the fact that this site is one of the centers for national and international events for the city of Medellín (outside the La Macarena events plaza).

Great place for attend events where sound and lights could be a top companion. Discreet, clean, with good attention and parking places. As be inside of University of Medellin this brings the place a secure aspect. Pay attention as if you assist to event here you cannot get in whit beverages and drinks.

Ogrodzieniec Castle Ruins

Ogrodzieniec Castle is a ruined medieval castle originally built in the 14th–15th century by the W³odkowie Sulimczycy family. Established in the early 12th century, during the reign of Boles³aw III Wrymouth, the first stronghold was razed by the Tatars in 1241. In the mid-14th century a new gothic castle was built here to accommodate the Sulimczycy family. Surrounded by three high rocks, the castle was well integrated into the area. The defensive walls were built to close the circuit formed by the rocks, and a narrow opening between two of the rocks served as an entrance.

In 1470 the castle and lands were bought by the wealthy Cracovian townsmen, Ibram and Piotr Salomon. Then, Ogrodzieniec became the property of Jan Feliks Rzeszowski, the rector of Przemy¶l and the canon of Cracow. The owners of the castle about that time were also Jan and Andrzej Rzeszowskis, and later Pilecki and Che³miñski families. In 1523 the castle was bought by Jan Boner.
