Once the historic seat of kings, the Sejm (lower house of parliament), and the President of the Second Polish Republic, the Royal Castle is a monument to Polish independence. Today, it serves as a museum and a representative building. https://zabytek.pl/pl/obiekty/warszawa-zamek-krolewski

The Nicolaus Copernicus Monument in Warsaw stands on Krakowskie Przedmieście Street in front of Staszic Palace (currently the seat of the Polish Academy of Sciences). Designed by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, it was made of bronze and depicts Copernicus seated with a compass and armillary sphere in his hands. The idea for the monument was initiated by Stanisław Staszic and the Warsaw Society of Friends of Science; the design was created in 1822, and the monument was unveiled on May 11, 1830. Funding came from public donations and Staszic's bequest. The inscriptions on the pedestal include the Latin "Nicolao Copernico Grata Patria" ("To Nicolaus Copernicus, a grateful homeland") and the Polish "Nicolaus Copernicus Rodacy" ("From the countrymen"). During World War II, the Germans covered the Polish inscription with a plaque bearing a German dedication, which was removed in 1942 by Scout Maciej Aleksy Dawidowski ("Alek") in a minor act of sabotage. The monument was damaged during the Warsaw Uprising and taken away by the Germans with the intention of melting it down. However, after the war, it was found and restored to its original location. Renovated, it was unveiled again on July 22, 1949. The monument is one of the most recognizable symbols of Warsaw.

On the opposite side of the road, there is a picture of Bernardo Bellotto's painting of this church. The Venezian is better known as Canaletto. His detailed and realistic paintings of Warsaw were used to rebuild parts of the old town after WWII. Canaletto used to work for the Court of the Polnish King Stanislaw August Poniatowski from 1767 until his death in 1780.

35 PLN for entry. A large part looks neglected. The enclosures are empty "because there used to be something there". Dirty and not because of the animals. Well, it didn't make a good impression on me. I hope they will improve this facility even because it is a zoo in the capital of the country..

A great place to walk, relax and spend your free time.

The Archcathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Warsaw, located in the Old Town of Warsaw at ul. Świętojańska 8. It is one of the oldest churches in Warsaw. It was originally named after the Beheading of St. John the Baptist, and currently the Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist. It is one of the most important places of Polish culture and national tradition. Within its walls, priest Piotr Skarga delivered sermons, Władysław IV Vasa swore his pacta conventa, weddings, coronations of two Polish rulers, funerals of many dignitaries took place here, and the Constitution of May 3 was sworn in. Today, important state ceremonies are held there.

Potocki Palace (formerly Czartoryski Palace) – a historic palace at ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście 15 in Warsaw, the current seat of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Originally built as a wooden manor house of the Denhoffs before 1643, it was destroyed during the Swedish Deluge, and replaced with a brick one around 1669. In the 18th century, it became the property of the Czartoryskis and was rebuilt in the late Baroque, Rococo, and later partially Classicist styles. In 1799, it fell into the hands of the Potockis and remained their property until 1945. In the 19th century, it served a profitable function – its premises were rented to various institutions and people, including famous figures such as Niemcewicz, Nowosilcow and Kalergis. An exhibition pavilion was built in its courtyard (1881–1896), where, among others, the works of Jan Matejko were presented. During World War II, the palace was burned down by the Germans in August 1944. It was rebuilt in 1948–1949 in its late 18th-century form. Since then, it has housed cultural institutions, currently the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. In 1965, it was entered into the register of historical monuments.
