    (Translated by Google) The monument is full of scattered bottles and rubbish. It is a shame that such an important symbol for the city and Poland is so neglected and polluted. (Original) Pod pomnikiem jest pełno porozrzucanych butelek i śmieci. Wstyd, że tak ważny symbol dla miasta i Polski jest taki zaniedbany i zanieczyszczony.

    (Translated by Google) The Silesian Insurgents' Monument was built next to the roundabout. Earlier there was the garden of the Katowice castle, i.e. the Tiele-Winckler house, which survived until 1976. Shortly after the war, a cemetery of Red Army soldiers was established in the garden. It wasn't until later that the exhumation was carried out and it was transferred to Kościuszko Park. The monument was designed by Gustaw Zemła and Wojciech Zabłocki. Three steel wings were cast in Gliwice Technical Equipment Factory. The monument that commemorates the insurgents of 1919, 1920 and 1921 was unveiled on September 1, 1967. (Original) Pomnik Powstańców Śląskich zbudowano tuż przy rondzie. Wcześniej był tu ogród katowickiego zamku, czyli domu Tiele- Wincklerów, który przetrwał do 1976 roku. Tuż po wojnie na terenie ogrodu urządzono cmentarz żołnierzy Armii Czerwonej. Dopiero później przeprowadzono ekshumacja i przeniesiono go do parku Kościuszki. Pomnik zaprojektował Gustaw Zemła i Wojciech Zabłocki. Trzy stalowe skrzydła odlano w Gliwickich Zakładach Urządzeń Technicznych. Pomnik, który upamiętnia powstańców z 1919, 1920 i 1921 odsłonięto 1 września 1967 roku.

  • 1/5 Vadym 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    I am upset, I came with my elderly father halfway around the world to Auschwitz to see the Auschwitz museum, the website indicated that the entrance is free. We arrived in the morning, we were told that the price for a bilingual guide is PLN 100 per person, they also said that entry after 2:00 PM is free. We had to wait 6 hours to avoid paying for a guide that my father would not have understood anyway. When we arrived, we were told that the tickets had run out, and they would not be able to let us through. It's terrible, it's a shame. It is so brazen to profit from people with the help of such a tragedy

👍👍 It's a place to visit and check the mining part of town, made mostly of red bricks. Really stunning to see it in the 21st century and a must for every urbanist. Could be explored in half an hour, several buses are coming from Katowice or taxi is an option too.
