Apart from the well-known beautiful seaside Gdynia boasts of a great number of examples of modernism due to its architecture and buildings. The style of the 20's and 30's occurred in Gdynia in a very characteristic and sophisticated form mainly because of the maritime accents which were introduced in the architecture. Cylindrical or sharp curves of the buildings as well as balconies and terraces resemble the shapes of ships with their masts and bridges. Gdynia's modernism is present not only in houses, villas and buildings but also in industrial constructions and port facilities.
