industrial city with coal mines.

That isn’t UFO but modern sports hall built in 1971. This is the place where a lot of diffrent cultural and sports events take

place.

In our city a large number of music festivals, concerts and sport competitions

take place.

The one of the most popular is OFF Festival organised by Artur Rojek- the leader of

Myslovitz band.

And this is building of the Silesian Theatre which invites many famous artists. Performances are based on plays of

talented authors e.g Moliere or Fredro.

Katowice is also a short lesson of history. You can find here historic suburbs like

Nikiszowiec.

We have our traditions and we are famous for hospitality and great fun. We have our

own dances, songs and costiumes.

Typical silesian dinner is ‘rosół’ (a chicken and vegetables soup), ‘rolada’ with ‘kluski’ and ‘modra kapusta’ (stuffed, rolled beef

and dumplings and red cabbage).
