Muranów
Appearance
Muranów is a housing estate in districts Śródmieście and Wola in Warsaw founded in XVII century by Józef Bellotti, a venecian architect. The name of estate comes from an island of Murano.
In the Interwar period the district was inhabited mostly by Jews - because of that the Warsaw Ghetto has been located here by occupying Germans. After uprising in 1943 commanded by Mordechaj Anielewicz the district has been completely destroyed. A few buldings have survived the war. Rebuild after war in style of socrealism.
In the future a Warsaw Metro station Muranów (crossaroads od Anielewicza and Andersa streets) and Museum of History of Polish Jews are to be build.
