Havirov. Square of Republic

The foundation of the town of Havířov is closely connected to the construction of mining settlements in the neighboring territories. The name of the town is very young and was chosen in a public tender.

Havířov has a reputation of a town with superior housing and quite clean environment, plus very good recreational possibilities.

The heart of the present town, built in 1950´s in the style of socialist realism, was in 1992 declared a protected area and called (according to the style) „Sorela“. The area includes a set of houses bordered by the forest park Stromovka on the one side and curves of the Lučina River on the opposite side.
