I visited the Museum of the Uprising shortly after it opened, and it is truly a moving experience. I’ve been visiting Warsaw for over a dozen years and have grown comfortable in this resilient city with its indomitable people.

In so many ways, it remains a very European city, more so than cities in those countries which are abandoning their history and traditions. The Poles have never abandoned theirs.

Did you know that Warsaw's Old City which was totally destroyed during WWII has been rebuild according to the paintings made by Canaletto a.k.a. Bernardo Bellotto.

In 1980 it was put on World Heritage List.

Too bad that after WWII people responsible for rebuilding our Capital were hard core commies. Instead of saving monuments they could restore, they prefered to destroy them!!!
Especially those connected with times of glory of "The Brightest Republic" - Rzeczpospolitą Obojga Narodów, and the power of Polish Kingdom.

On the other hand there were people like Stanisław Lorentz who made everything he could to restore Royal Castle.
