The most visited parts of Kraków by tourists are the Old Town and Kazimierz. However, there are many more places of interest to be found in the capital of Małopolska. One of them is the Podgórze district of Kraków which was a separate town until about 100 years ago.It is home to Oskar Schindler's famous Enamelware Factory and the Krakus Mound. Explore the highlights of the Podgórze region. Podgórze is a few minutes from the Kazimierz district, on the other side of the Vistula River, which caneasily be crossed on the Father Bernatek footbridge.  This right-bank district of Krakow used to be called the Free Royal City of Podgórze. It was created after the First Partition of Poland as a result of a decision by the Austrian authorities, who needed new land to be developed by the population. Podgórze has been part of Kraków since 1915.  The district is significant as a historical site, as it was home to a Jewish ghetto during the Second World War. Today's Podgórze Market Square is a quiet square with benches where residents sit in their free time. In the past, however, there was a lively market here, noisy with the bustling chatter of merchants and buyers, full of colours, smells and all kinds of different goods. The Market Square was located at the crossroads of important roads leading to nearby Wieliczka, Kraków and Kalwaria Zebrzydowska – thanks to this location, the place was visited quite a lot. While strolling through the area, it's worth heading to the nearby Church of St Joseph, built between 1905 and 1909 in neo-Gothic style. Its tower is similar to the tower of St Mary's Church in the Old Town.
