Zaspa-Rozstaje is a unique district of Gdańsk, primarily consisting of prefabricated panel apartment blocks built in the 1970s. What makes it distinctive is the Monumental Art Collection, an open-air gallery of over 60 giant murals painted by international artists on the gable walls of the buildings. These artworks often tackle historical and social themes, transforming the district into a bustling urban art museum. The district is located on the site of a former airport where Pope John Paul II celebrated a mass in 1987, an event now commemorated by a park and monument. Zaspa is conveniently located close to the popular Brzeźno beach and Reagan Park, making it an attractive place to live. Though a residential area, it is worth a visit for art lovers and those wanting to experience a different side of Gdańsk. It is easily accessible by tram or bus from Gdańsk city center. Summer is the best time to visit to admire the murals while strolling around and to enjoy a trip to the nearby beach.
