Bytom, Industrial city in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

The urban landscape of Bytom consists of Gothic structures, Baroque buildings, and modernist architecture spread across twelve distinct administrative districts.

Founded in 1254, Bytom developed from a medieval settlement into a significant industrial center, becoming a crucial hub for coal mining in the 19th century.

The Silesian Opera House in Bytom presents regular performances of classical music, ballet, and operatic productions throughout the theatrical season.

The city maintains an extensive public transportation network with buses and trams connecting all districts to neighboring municipalities in the Upper Silesian region.

Mining activities beneath the city surface have caused structural changes, resulting in the implementation of specialized architectural reinforcement techniques.
