Zalipie - the most beautiful village in Poland - Full day tour from Krakow

Zalipie is the the most colourful village in Poland! I will show you houses entirely covered with flower pattern. We will also visit the House of Painters and Felicja Curyło's Household. This lady was an outstanding painter and the promoter of this unique folk art. Already during this artist's life, her house was visited by many people and, over the years, it became the most important place for all those interested in folk art. This cottage was preserved in the same form as it was during the painter's life. External walls of buildings in this household are covered with floral ornaments. In the hall, there is an interesting black ceiling with white patterns painted with clay. This technique relates to the oldest painting tradition in Zalipie. The tradition of painting flowers started in the late nineteenth century when women in Zalipie started to cover surfaces dirty from soot with white paint and then, colourful patterns. On the way back we will take a walk around the Renaissance market square in Tarnów.
