These include the Town Hall with the old Gdańsk standards of length at its entrance, the solar dial of 1588 on its corner, and its bell tower; the Naturalists Society; the medieval harbor crane; the medieval astronomical clock in St. Mary's Church; the late nineteenth-century lighthouse and time ball; and sites associated with Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687), Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686-1736), and Daniel Gralath (1708-1767). I also comment on the history of and physical research being carried out today at the Technical University of Gdańsk and the University of Gdańsk.
