🔴Route description:
The route begins in front of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene.
In the panorama of Old Praga, the neo-Gothic towers of the Church of St. Florian, today the Cathedral of Warsaw-Praga, and the Orthodox Church of St. Mary Magdalene still dominate. However, in the central area of the district, it is also easy to spot monuments of Jewish culture, although only a small hill remains of the most valuable of them, the round synagogue on Jagiellońska. Meanwhile, the memory of the Vietnamese Buddhist temple, which functioned briefly in the area of the Praga Port just a few years ago, is slowly fading. The makeshift temple disappeared before 2012 along with the market around the Decade Stadium. It is unknown whether one of the least known Catholic neo-Gothic churches in Warsaw, the former chapel of the railway hospital on Brzeska, will also disappear. In any case, local activists have recently rushed to its rescue.
