Warsaw

Few cities in Masovian Voivodeship have a history as closely tied to wartime destruction and postwar reconstruction as Warsaw. Set on the Vistula, Poland’s capital extends across both banks, although its historic core lies on the left. The Old Town, rebuilt after World War II from surviving fragments, paintings and documentation, entered the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1980 as an exceptional example of near-total reconstruction. The Royal Castle and Sigismund’s Column at Castle Square recall Warsaw’s role as a royal seat, while the Palace of Culture and Science marks its twentieth-century transformation.
