The city and the region- Past and present
Bia造stok offers many various attractions for its visitors. Its location has always had a crucial influence on its architecture, culture and ethnic diversity. Until now, it has been the mixture of different cultures. It is mostly inhabited by Poles but also by Belorussians, Lithuanians, Gypsies, Tatars, Ukrai鎍y. Ethnic diversity was even greater before the Second World War and at that time Bia造stok was inhabited by German and Jewish minorities. Thanks to this cultural diversity, Bia造stok gained its exceptional atmosphere and character, which are difficult to find in the world governed by globalisation.
As far as architecture is concerned, careful observers can find here interesting treats of Baroque, during that time interesting solutions e.g. place-park bonding features of French and English styles were introduced. Treats of the beginning of Polish Modernism in the form of St. Roch’s Church, historic buildings of Warszawska Street. The time of industrial revolution influenced Bia造stok strongly. “Manchester of the North” – this name was given to Bia造stok as the city was developing fast, especially in textile industry.
Urban architecture mixes here with wooden cottages. Nowadays, being unfortunately forgotten, they cannot resist destructive force of economy and they walk away into the shadow.
Bia造stok is also the capital of Podlasie. This is a land, where one can see a few precious and unique places in terms of country and regions. A major advantage of visiting Bia造stok is nature. Tourists are astonished by nature as it is beautiful and unspoilt.
