The city of Świdnica has launched several cultural and technological initiatives, including a new mobile application, ‘Zwiedzaj Dolny Śląsk’ (Explore Lower Silesia). This app utilizes 3D reconstructions and 360-degree panoramas to allow users to view historical versions of the city’s Market Square, cathedral, and Church of Peace.

Parallel to these digital efforts, the city celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Świdnica Photography Days. The jubilee event featured the return of the international ‘Zestaw’ competition, which saw 202 entries and awarded first prize to Ryszard Domański for ‘Ku światłu’. The celebrations also included the 35th Świdnica Photo Marathon, where participants captured twelve specific themes; for this edition, no first-place winner was named, and second place was shared by Piotr Orłowski and Paweł Romanowski.
