TOUR DESCRIPTION
60 years ago the communist dignitaries decided to balance Krakow’s famous past by creating a massive industrial sector. As a result, the 1950s saw the construction of the huge "New Krakow" – the notorious Nowa Huta district on the eastern border of the city. The blocks of flats feature Renaissance-inspired elements, which were used to commemorate the “new awakening of mankind”. You will visit the administrative buildings of the steelworks, the Central Square of Promenades, the so-called Dozow Palace, and the first churches built during the workers' counter-revolution. Nowa Huta eventually transformed itself into one of the bastions of the anti-communist movement of the 1980s.
