It is a real treat for lovers of murals - such an accumulation in one easily accessible place. The artist used retaining walls supporting the escarpment on which the old town of Sanok is located. There is a parking lot right next to it, so the attraction is also easily accessible to tourists by car.
Retaining walls are needed here and on both sides because the hill is not rocky but clay and tends to slide. This was experienced by the nearby Franciscan monastery, where cracks in the structure of the historic church were observed. For the same reason, it was decided to "impregnate" the market square in Sanok (next to which the monastery is located), from where old trees were removed and paved with red cubes, which led some people to call it Red Square.

(...) The idea of painting a mural on the recently completed retaining wall, above the new parking lot at ul. Podgórze was initiated by the Mayor of the City of Sanok - Tadeusz Pióro.

The Department of Culture and Promotion of the Municipal Office proposed topics to be painted, drawn from the history of the city, literature and legends about Sanok. Artists: Arkadiusz Andrejkow and Marek Szatkowski selected characters and events from the proposed list and visualized them according to their own concept. The work continued throughout May. On the mural resembling photographs hanging on a string against the sky, the following are presented: Archangel Michael, granting city rights to Sanok, Władysław Jagiełło, Queen Bona Sforza, Jacek Dydyński from Lisowka, Józef Szwejk, Marian Zaremba, bus SAN H-01, painting by Zdzisław Beksiński, the coat of arms of the city.
