KaBu: to be honest - these buildings aren't old at all ;) The Old Town of Warsaw was really heavy destroyed during WWII and almost nothing remained. The buildings at the market which you can see above are just an reconstruction built after the war.

But I must add that there's a lot of old buildings in Warsaw - starting from old (sometimes even medieval) churches which survived the struggles during WWII, through the palaces from XVIIth century, and XIXth century buildings which have survived especially at the right bank of Vistula river (The Praga district).

Don't hesitate to take a look around ;) On Panoramio you can find some really old Warsaw buildings. Enjoy!

Best regards:)

Thank you "cvn i tapir" for your detailed information. So those buildings were reconstructed similar to Gdansk inner city, that was totally destroyed too.

What a pity and lucky me, I spend most of exchange studies in Krakow. ;-)

Zbyt długa ekspozycja - niebo mleko.

Budynki leżą.. Poprzewracały się.. Na pierwszym planie bliżej nieznana sztaluga.. Zapewne mierzysz ponad 180 cm? :)
