Nadodrze Murals
In Wrocław’s Nadodrze district, there’s a fascinating courtyard where the buildings are painted in vibrant colors, each one telling a unique story. It all started with portraits of the residents being painted on the walls. Later, cats, dogs, fish, animals, and famous people began to appear in the artwork as well.
The idea behind the project was to bring some color and positivity to what used to be a rather gloomy neighborhood — and to lift the spirits of those who live there. The creator of this colorful courtyard in Wrocław is the artist Mariusz Mikołajek.
Today, this artistic courtyard attracts many tourists. You can enter it from several directions, for example from Roosevelta Street.
