Lonely Planet review for Arka Pana
The beloved Arka Pana was the first church in Nowa Huta, built in 1977 after much controversy. Authorities had intended the suburb to be a church-free zone, and it required protests and politicking by the local bishop (one Karol Wojtyła, who would later become pope) to get the job done. Across the street, a small monument marks the spot where a steelworker was killed while protesting communist rule.
