Attractive place s can be found both in the centre of Katowice and in the peripheries. The best known of them are the two housing estates which featured in the films by Kazimierz Kutz (" The Cross of Courage", "The Salt of the Black Earth" and "Beads of the Same Rosary"), the estates of Nikiszowiec and Giszowiec, forming part of the Janów district.

Historically Janów was part of the Myslowice land estate which had been held by the Mieroszewski family since the 17th century (the village was named after Jan Krzysztof Mieroszewski). In 1873, during the Prussian administrative reform, an independent municipality of Janów was established; in 1951 it was included in the town of Szopienice , and in 1960 it was incorporated in greater Katowice .

This time we will walk around one of the workmen's housing estates in Janów, i.e. Nikiszowiec, commonly called "Nikisz". We can, get there from downtown Katowice on the 12 or 30 bus, and our route is as follows: Wyzwolenia Square (pl. Wyzwolenia) - St. Ann 's church - (abbreviated form of ulica , Polish for "street") sw. Anny Street -. Odrowazów Street - Giszowiecka Street - Szopienicka Street - Rymarska Street - Wyzwolenia Square.
