French: Centre historique de Varsovie
The Historic Centre of Warsaw is a World Heritage site in Poland and defined by the UNESCO in 1980 and definitely a recommended cultural sightseeing location.
It is on position 512 (354, 48) in our monthly survey..

"During the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944, more than 85% of Warsaw's historic centre was destroyed by Nazi troops. After the war, a five-year reconstruction campaign by its citizens resulted in today's meticulous restoration of the Old Town, with its churches, palaces and market-place. It is an outstanding example of a near-total reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th century."
