Warsaw Old Town

<nil>

It is the oldest portion of the city which contains numerous historic buildings, mostly from 17th and 18th centuries, such as the Royal Castle, city walls, St. John's Cathedral, and the Barbican. The settlement itself dates back to between the 13th and 14th centuries. During World War II, the Old Town was nearly totally destroyed and subsequently reconstructed. The project was the world's first attempt to resurrect an entire historic city core and was included on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1980. The reconstruction efforts were again recognized in 2011 when all its documents and records were added to UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme

Warsaw's Old Town Market Square (Polish: Rynek Starego Miasta) is the center and oldest part of the Old Town of Warsaw, Poland.

The ancient Market Place was rebuilt in the 1950s. Today it is a major tourist attraction.The current buildings were reconstructed between 1948 and 1953 to look as they did in the 17th century when it was mostly inhabited by rich merchant families.

The Royal Route is a former communication route that led southward from the city's Old Town. It now comprises a series of connecting Warsaw streets that feature a number of historic landmarks including many connected to Fryderyk Chopin who lived here for the first 20 years of his life. After his death, as requested by the composer, his heart was removed, brought back to Warsaw and eventually entombed in one of the churches. Join me for a tour to hear more amazing facts.
