Warsaw Old Town

The oldest area of Warsaw, Poland's capital city, is known as Warsaw Old Town. It is bordered by the Gdańsk Boulevards, the Vistula River's bank, Grodzka, Mostowa, and Podwale Streets, and the Vistula River's bank. As one of the most beautiful historical sites in Poland, Warsaw Old Town is one of Warsaw's most well-known tourist attractions. The Old Town Market Place, which is densely packed with restaurants, cafés, and stores, is the area's beating heart. The city walls, St. John's Cathedral, and the Barbican, which connects Warsaw Old Town and Warsaw New Town, are all examples of medieval architecture.

The Old Town Market Place, which dates from the end of the 13th century, is the genuine heart of the Old Town, and it was the heart of all of Warsaw until the end of the 18th century. When entering from the more modern core of Warsaw, a visitor's first view of the recreated Old Town is Castle Square. It's a spectacular vista, dominated by Zygmunt's Column, which looms over the lovely Old Townhouses. Castle Square, sandwiched between the Old Town and the Royal Castle, is rich in history. The Kraków Gate, which led into the city, was located here.

Canon Square is a small triangular square behind St. John's Cathedral. The bronze bell of Warsaw, which Grand Crown Treasurer Jan Mikoaj Daniowicz founded in 1646 for the Jesuit Church in Jaroslaw, stands in the center of the square. A covered corridor connects the Canon Square and the Royal Square, built for Queen Anna Jagiellon in the late 16th century and expanded in the 1620s.
