In today's photos there is the building of the Malopolian Culture Center '
Falcon' (Malopolskie Centrum Kultury '
Sokol'). The name 'Falcon' comes from the name of the Polish Gymnastic Society
'Falcon' (Polskie Towarzystwo Gimnastyczne '
Sokol') which was established in 1867 in Lviv. In Nowy Sacz it came into being in 1887 when the south part of Poland was under the domination of the Austria-Hungary Dual Monarchy. The society promotes the value of sport, health as well as moral values.

The building of Nowy Sacz's '
Falcon' was thoroughly rebuilded at the turn of the century (1993 - 2003).
In the second photo you can see the falcon on the roof which is the symbol of the building and the whole Gimnastic Society.
