The European Solidarity Center and historic Gdansk Shipyard Gate cannot be missed! This visit will allow you to understand better what we experienced during the rules of the communist party. "Solidarity" was born in August 1980 and was the beginning of the end of the communist regime. The representatives of the striking workers from many Polish factories and firms formed the Inter-Factory Striking Committee led by Lech Wałęsa who became later the president of Poland. On Solidarity Square, you'll see also the Monument of the Fallen Shipyard Workers killed by militia in December 1970. It is also the opportunity to be in BHP Hall where the Agreement between the representatives of Government and striking workers was signed and to see launched in 2014 The European Solidarity Center. Next steps we'll make our way to the building which was the seat of the local Communist Party and to St. Bridget Church where help and support to protesting people and dissenters were given. In the Church the beautiful Amber Altar
