Description
Visit with us Nowa Huta, one of the two still existing ideal communist cities in the world. Get a chance to see symbols of spiritual resistance against the communist party will.
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.
