Warsaw

Old square in Warsaw

I fear that there is not much to say about Warsaw. We were only there overnight. We had a quick walk around the old downtown square area. It was all destroyed during WWII. The city has done a great job of reconstructing it to period style. Below is a collection of photos of other interesting things we saw on our quick stop.

Barbicon fortress wall


Warsaw Uprising Monument
Remainder of wall from WWII Jewish Ghetto

Final resting place for Chopin's heart.

Palace of Culture, a building built by Stalin for Warsaw during Communism
(the Poles considered this building quite ugly when it was built)
