Katowice has a history going back to when it was mentioned by Ptolemy in the 2nd century. There were also lead and silver mines by the 13th century around here.  The 19th century saw more development when the area was under Prussian rule, and Katowice grew, as the importance of mining and metals increased. Soon after the railway between Berlin and Myslowice was opened in 1846, Katowice became a city, and became extremely important to Poland.

Although its industrial heritage is clear to see, people who take flights to Katowice can see that there are still artistic and cultural sights to see here.  There are neo-baroque, and restored neo Gothic buildings, as well as the workers housing estates.  Many buildings here are influenced by Bauhaus and De Stijl as well as Le Courbusier.  In addition the historical worker's area Nikiszowiec and Giszowiec, designed as garden-town, are fine examples of the history and heritage of Katowice.  If you like history with a difference, or a fan of architecture, you'll want to book your flights to Katowice and experience this city for yourself.
