Dom Śląski, Modern architecture building in Kraków, Poland.

The five-story Dom Śląski building stands at the intersection of Królewska Street and Pomorska Street with functionalist architectural elements and clinker brick facade.

Constructed between 1932 and 1937 under architect Józef Rybicki's design, the building became the Gestapo headquarters during the German occupation of World War II.

The building houses an exhibition titled 'Cracovians in the face of terror, 1939-1945-1956' that documents the impact of totalitarian regimes in Poland.

Visitors can find Dom Śląski at 2 Pomorska Street, where they can examine preserved prisoner inscriptions and signatures in the former custody cells.

The basement cells contain original wall inscriptions from prisoners who were held there during both Nazi and Communist regime periods.
