Archaeological discoveries have been reported across several Polish cities, involving both urban infrastructure projects and maritime conservation.

In Kraków, renovations at the Bagatela tram junction led to the discovery of medieval burials and a fragment of a medieval sewer pipe, resulting in a temporary suspension of work in that specific area. Meanwhile, in Lublin, excavations for a heating-network upgrade uncovered a preserved wooden street surface dating from the 17th to early 18th century.

In other regions, plans are being developed in Czersk to establish a museum for a rare 15th-century shipwreck known as a szkuta, which was recovered from the Vistula River and has undergone years of specialized conservation. Additionally, excavations in Warsaw’s Mariensztat district revealed fragments of a former tenement house facade, including a balcony, offering further insight into the area’s historical urban development.
