An entertaining tour around Nowa Huta. Nowa Huta translates as “New Mill” and is said to be “uncle’s Stalin” gift to the people of Poland. The district of Krakow was originally intended to be a separate city of “brave socialism workers”. The city / district was built to attract working class people by offering jobs at newly built steel mill and housing in huge blocks of flats. By building it, the Communists intended to give a slap in the face to Krak- ow the city which was always intellectual and unruly and didn’t really go well with Stalin’s preferred virtues.
The district looks grey and sad but architectural planning is actually quite impressive – it was originally created as a perfect city, somewhat like the renaissance cities. By taking this 2-hrs trip you’ll have a chance to view the most 22 important sights of Nowa Huta (e.g. Avenue of Roses, Central Square, Mill, the Lords Ark) and you will be cruising Nowa Huta in a car of that era.
