Abstract: For Tarnów, the beginning of the 20th century was like that of many other European cities, a time of transformation into a new, modern urban organism. Tarnów, even before the start of the Central Industrial District’s ambitious plan, received the chance to transform and modernise in 1927, thanks to the efforts of the President of Poland; thus the decision to build the State Factory of Nitrogen Compounds was made. This was the beginning of the intense spatial development of the city, which bore fruit in the form of a model housing estate in the district of Mościce. By the late 1930s, Mościce was already properly marked in the plan of the city; the time then came for the symbolic signalling of the new district, in both senses – formal and spiritual. Thus the new district was marked by a silhouette of a sacral building erected in the spirit of Modernism; its integration into the panorama of the old town of Tarnów created the modern image of the 20th century agglomeration.
