An alternative guide to Katowice

Iron house.
Upper Silesia is a region which for many years relied on heavy industry: coal mining and steelworks. Steel was used not only in industry, but also to construct houses. All that almost a century ago! To see a house made of steel, you need to go to Rokitnica - a district of Zabrze located about 20 kilometres away from Katowice. Attention! Do not knock on the steel wall, however tempting it seems, as there are still people living inside and the sound is carried well.
