Bohaterów Monte Cassino, known affectionately as 'Monciak' by locals, runs directly from the train station to the pier and is filled with bars, restaurants, shops, and several famous attractions. The street’s name is an homage to a pivotal moment in Polish military history, the 1944 Battle of Monte Cassino, a series of conflicts during which Allied forces, together with Polish troops triumphantly reached Italy’s devastated Monte Cassino monastery on May 18, breaking the Gustav Line and victoriously propelling the Allies towards Rome.
