A District Built on Rubble

Muranów is a district unique on a global scale. It was built almost from scratch after World War II, directly on a vast sea of rubble from the former Warsaw Ghetto. Architects planned it as a modernist, spacious housing estate, which was to be both a monument to the past and a promise of a better future.
