Until the 19th century, Katowice was an agricultural village that evolved into a powerful industrial centre when huge deposits of hard coal were discovered underground and the first mines were established. The construction of the railway connected the region with Berlin and Vienna. Most of the mines have been closed and some of them have gained a new life as tourist attractions as underground museums. Culture and music lovers find film and various type music festivals here.

Katowice Culture
Nikiszowiec
Nikiszowiec is the historical legacy of Katowice, a housing estate built for miners and their families in the form of red brick houses in the era of the greatest industrialization of the region at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. One of the most desired places for photographers is 8 km from the city center. The estate is still inhabited, and the full-of-character pubs contribute to its extraordinary feeling. Nikiszowiec has been recognized by the President of the Republic of Poland as a historical monument.
Spodek
Has UFO landed in Katowice? Until 2014, the Spodek Arena, with its steel dome weighing 300 tons, was Poland's largest sports and entertainment hall, with seats for 11,500 viewers. The iconic symbol of Katowice, sited in the city's central point, clearly resembling a spacecraft after landing, was built in 1971. An interesting aspect is that the first concert of Metallica in Poland took place in Spodek in 1987.
