Bastion no. 5 "Lubicz" was built to the east from the city centre in 1861-1866. Gradually modernized, it stood there until 1950 when it was partially demolished and levelled while constructing a road leading to the new industrial district of Nowa Huta. The ruins, hidden underground for over 50 years, were uncovered in 2006 when the roundabout was being rebuilt. Conservation efforts were finished in December 2008.

"On the 12th of December, the first anniversary of the opening of the new Opera House, opera-goers, music-lovers, friends and guests from Krakow and all over Poland are welcome to attend the Krakow Opera’s Open Day, which is going to take place at Lubicz 48 street. There will be entertainment galore for all: a tour of the stage and the backstage, including the dressing-rooms and the studios, a demonstration of the stage machinery (traps, rolling wagons and barrels), as well as meetings with the artists and the Opera staff."
