Nowa Huta is a district located in the eastern part of Kraków, in the Lesser Poland region of Poland. It was established in the 1940s as a separate town and was later incorporated into Kraków in 1951. Nowa Huta was designed as a model socialist realist city and was intended to be a symbol of the new, industrialized Poland. The district is characterized by its wide, grid-like streets and large, concrete apartment blocks, which were built to house the workers of the nearby steelworks. The central point of Nowa Huta is the Central Square, which is surrounded by administrative and cultural buildings, including the iconic Lenin Steelworks, which was the largest industrial plant in Poland at the time of its construction.
