Katowice is a city with a rich industrial history that is dynamically developing and surprising at every turn. In the 19th century, like the entire Silesian region, Katowice became an important center of industry, especially metallurgy and coal mining. Great families such as Henckel von Donnersmarck, Schaffgotsch, Ballestrem and Tiele-Winckler played a key role in the industrialization of Silesia. This turbulent development is reflected in the unique heritage of the city: industrial facilities, modernist and contemporary architecture, and metropolitan tenement houses from the beginning of the 20th century.

We invite you to discover Katowice, a city full of attractions. The newly opened headquarters of the National Symphony Orchestra of Polish Radio attracts lovers of classical music, and the unique atmosphere in the Katowice Spodek has made volleyball and handball matches unforgettable events for years. Each of the 99 objects described in the guide contains basic information about its history: the original and current name, the architect and the years of construction. The descriptions are available in Polish, English, German, Czech and Spanish, which makes the guide ideal for international guests.
