Pomnik Powstańców Śląskich
The little park just south of Jerzego Ziętka Roundabout. Much of Silesia remained part of Germany even after World War I and Polish independence, but there were uprisings by ethnic Poles in 1919, 1920 and 1921 - the three wings symbolize these, and the battle sites are etched on the sides. But thus the map remained until World War II, when the German and Polish parts suffered equal horrors, and afterwards the entire region joined Poland.
Budynek Łaźni Miejskiej
It was built in 1895. It closed in 1970 and is now municipal offices.
Two galleries, concert hall and cafeteria in this 2007 building on a roundabout.
Teatr Śląski
Katowice's main repertory theatre, the largest theatre in Silesia, dedicated to the playwright Stanisław Wyspiański (1869-1907).
The market place, pedestrianised but criss-crossed by trams. It's frankly drab, though the communist buildings are being replaced by modern structures. They've taken up the Kraków tradition of sounding the Hejnał at noon, a five-note bugle call, which in medieval times was the signal to open the city gates at dawn.
