Description
Step into the Past: Nowa Huta means the 'New Steelworks.' It was a remarkable experiment in urban planning and a symbol of Poland's post-World War II industrial growth. Built during the communist era, this district was envisioned as a model city that would reflect the principles of socialism (not to mention its massive role in Joseph Stalin's propaganda and totalitarian dictatorship). The tour takes you through the story of Nowa Huta's creation, its significance during communism, and its transformation into a thriving neighborhood. Unique Insights: - See the representative parts of Nowa Huta: Monumental Central Square and the Avenue of Roses. - Enter the 'Ark of Lord' - one of the most architecturally unique churches you will ever see, a symbol of spiritual resistance of Catholic workers against the communist party. - Experience the place under heavy influence of the Communism period and the nostalgia of its heroic past. This activity includes: - Nowa Huta Cultural Centre - Rynek Główny - Ronald Reagan Plaza - English-speaking guide - History - StorytellingIncludes
