Mural on the facade of a residential block at Rzeczna 10 Street depicts three dancing women, residents of the former Przemyśl Fortress, of Polish, Ukrainian and Hungarian nationality. The theme of the mural refers to the multiculturalism of the city of Przemyśl, which during the partitions, during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, combined the fates of people of many nations and many religions.

Poles, Jews, Hungarians, Ukrainians and many other nationalities lived next to each other during the construction of the Przemyśl Fortress and during the fights for the Przemyśl fortress, creating the community of Przemyśl. Through murals that were created in various parts of our city, we want to remind the residents of Przemyśl about the history and people who lived in our city over a hundred years ago.
