Understand

In the Middle Ages the houses of the Stradom were made of wood and poorer craftsmen lived there. The north brench of the Vistula river was flowing there until the 19th century - now the Dietl Parkway and Old Vistuala Street (ul. Starowislna). There are a lot of fine 19th century houses, the Vistuala Boulevards, three baroque churches, a monastry, the Pusatow Palace, two cinemas (ul. sw. Gertrudy and Dietl Parkway) and one museum (ul. sw. Sebastiana) in this part of town.
