Town Hall


The part of the Town Hall with the town coat of arms: on the left the yellow Upper Silesian Eagle on the blue background, on the right side double cross refers to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre (Chorzów, as a village was given* by Władysław, duke of Opole, to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, in 1257.)

*) There are many uncertainties: it was village in this time, or it was only a place for village, or the village was destroyed by Mongols (called in Poland 'Tatars').

  3. No tak... Ponoc mężczyźni nie przywiązują wagi do kolorów.
    Ale to może już dyskusja na innego bloga ;)

  4. To nie to -- bo zabawy z modelami są bardzo kształcące, jeśli chodzi o kolory.
    Po prostu dzisiaj mnie jakoś praca od bloga co chwilę odrywa i roztargniony jestem...
