Zabrze, Industrial city in Upper Silesia, Poland

Located along the Bytomka River, Zabrze spans across fifteen districts with a combination of red brick buildings and modern urban structures.

The settlement traces back to 1242 in the Biskupice district, later developing into a mining center with the first coal mine established in 1790.

The Zabrze Philharmonic Orchestra and New Theatre present regular performances, while museums preserve the regional mining traditions through exhibitions.

The Queen Luiza Mine complex remains open for guided tours, allowing visitors to explore underground tunnels and learn about mining techniques.

The city contains multiple preserved mine shafts and industrial facilities that form part of Poland's registered Historic Monuments collection.
