About Katowice

Katowice is the center of science, culture, industry, business, trade fair/exhibitions and transportation in the Upper Silesia region and southern Poland. It is the main city in the Upper Silesian Industrial Region . most Polish cities, Katowice's Rynek, or town square is also the old center and marketplace of the city, although it's not really that old. The old classic Rynek was demolished during the country's communist rule and it its place stands a communist designed square, which most people consider to be unattractive. There are plans to demolish the communist structures and re-construct the old town square. Today, most of the streets around the Rynek have been pleasantly pedestrianized and are considered prime shopping localities. The local cathedral is a beautiful architectural monument and one of the most important attractions of the city. Visitors of this attraction will have a chance to see a priceless collection of paintings dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Pictures made of stained glass by skillful masters in the beginning of the 20th century are considered the most valuable exhibits of the collection. The hall of the museum dedicated to art features a collection of works by the local artists. Among the exhibits present there, guests will be delighted to see items made of crystal and costumes, crafts by the local artisans and historical documents, as well as a large collection of old photographs. Do not forget to visit the Museum of Antique Interiors, the main exhibits of which are paintings, antique furniture, tapestries, sculptures, pottery, jewelry and even ancient weapons. The Concert Hall of Silesia is one of the most beautiful historic buildings of the 19th century in the city. The hall often hosts various concerts of classical music and performances of world famous musicians.
