Biskupin-Sępolno-Dąbie-Bartoszowice (Polish pronunciation: [bisˈkupin sɛmˈpɔlnɔ ˈdɔmbjɛ bartɔʂɔˈvit͡sɛ]) is a district of Wrocław located in the eastern part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Downtown district in 1991.[2]

The district encompasses the area of four former villages incorporated to the city on April 1, 1928 – Bischofswalde (Biskupin), Zimpel (Sępolno), Grüneiche (Dąbie) and Bartheln (Bartoszowice). It also includes the areas of Zimpel annexed to Breslau (today's Wrocław) in 1924, a part of the former village of Scheitnig located within the city limits since 1868, and the Opatowice Island [pl], which in the former administrative division of the city belonged to the Krzyki district.

The district is home to the city zoo and Wrocław's only UNESCO-listed landmark, the Centennial Hall. It also houses the oldest oak tree in the city, Dziadek ('Grandpa'), which scientists estimate to be 440 years old.[3]
