European Solidarity Centre
Next to Gate No. 2 of the shipyard, where in August 1980 workers led by Lech Wałęsa went on strike and Solidarity was born, a museum tells the story of the peaceful struggle that brought communism in Central Europe to an end. Outside stands the monument to the workers killed in 1970.
