Warsaw, a history of metamorphoses
Warsaw’s architecture tells the city’s story very well. Established in the 14th century and administrative centre of Poland since the 16th, Warsaw continued its development until the Second World War. A few monuments of this glorious past remain, many of them rebuilt after the city’s near destruction in 1944. The 50 years that followed added typical Socialist architecture to the city’s landscape. Capital of a fully independent state at last after the fall of Communism, Warsaw is today resolutely turned towards the future with a new skyline, which will include the highest building in the EU in 2020.
Krakow, the royal city and former capital of Poland for 600 years, has retained its medieval charm and most of its historical monuments from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.
Today one of the largest cultural and scientific centers of Poland with its treasures of art and architecture that are inscribed on the list of World Heritage of UNESCO.
