Katowice on sunny Friday

19 th September 2014

Today in the afternoon I visited Katowice. It is capital city of Upper Silesia. 




The city of Katowice is the centre of cultural and economic life in Upper Silesia, a region in south eastern Poland. A visit to Katowice is a must for those interested in industrial environments as this city is the cradle of Polish industry. Taking a walk down its streets, visitors will see evidence of the 19th century industrial buildings which have now been combined together with more modern structures



The old buildings from 19th century



 Katowice is a unique city, the center of the largest metropolitan area in Poland and the administrative, academic and cultural heart of the Silesian Province. The city’s roots are related in the mining and metallurgy industry, while currently it is developing as a thriving economic, educational, cultural and entertainment center.

Galeria Katowicka- Shopping centre next to the railway station.

The prestigious Secondary School. The building dates back from 1898.








I love this building.

      School ( because here it was Germany.

    I like the secondary school. It looks very much like a church that I have a photo of with the round window.
