Zalipie, Lesser Poland Voivodeship

Zalipie extends over 8 square kilometers with 743 residents and contains more than 30 houses decorated with detailed floral patterns on walls and ceilings.

The tradition of painting flowers on buildings began in the early 1900s when women covered soot marks from coal stoves with white paint and colorful designs.

Each year, the Malowana Chata competition brings together local artists who demonstrate their skills by creating new floral patterns on houses and structures.

Located 68 kilometers east of Krakow, visitors can reach the village by following the A4 and DK73 roads or taking a bus connection from Tarnow.

The House of Felicja Curylowa presents original furniture, walls, and ceilings decorated with paint made from natural pigments mixed with milk.
