The Vítkovice mining area is located right at the heart of Ostrava. As soon as you enter this town of steel, a fantastic panorama opens up, one comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster’s space-age vision of towns of the future. The view of this labyrinth of iron towers, pipes and conduits creates bizarre forms and leaves a weird and wonderful impression on most. This town of steel will also fill you with a kind of bleak nostalgia.
