Exploring the "City of the Future" Nowa Huta - Remnants of Communism

Those were the days when the veins of Krakow ran with coal and steel and the glorious and royal past of the city no longer mattered. The world was on the eve of the Cold War and Nowa Huta, the communist district of Krakow, was built to fight and resist it.
Visit Nowa Huta, one of the two ideal communist cities that still exists in the world and have the opportunity to see the representative part of Nowa Huta: the monumental Central Square and the Avenue of Roses , enter the church 'Ark of the Lord' , a symbol of the spiritual resistance of Catholic workers against the will of the communist party.
An ideal, monumental and grandiose communist city was built in a country just beginning to rise from the rubble of World War II. But, for the Communist Party, the costs of its construction did not make sense. Tangible proof of communist power was the only thing that mattered.
This ideal city, where religion was

Hola! my name is David, and I'm originally from the Canary Islands - but embracing the idea of being a citizen of the world. I've been living in beautiful Krakow for the past 5 years, getting involved with locals, travelling across the country and discovering unusual spots to take my guests for a unique touring experience. I'm passionate when it comes to revealing to people what Krakow has to offer. From ancient pagan places, old churches & fortified monasteries to melancholic quarters showing a turbulent past or trendy & local restaurants. Join me and experience a historic city that has established its own identity from adversity. Witamy w Krakowie!

See you right in front of the Zara store, in the main square of Krakow.
