Warsaw's historic heart was deliberately almost entirely destroyed towards the end of the Second World War by the German occupying troops. After the war, it was painstakingly rebuilt and that reconstruction is perceived as expressing the nation's determination to survive, to conserve its history and its culture.
Stand in Castle Square, look around you, gaze upon the Royal Castle and compare it with old photographs - and you must have a heart of stone if you cannot applaud the intricacy of the rebuilding work involved.
The original designs of Market Square, the rich tones of the painted merchants' houses, the Cathedral of St John, several other churches as well as the Old City walls are all meticulously restored to their original beauty, whether Gothic or baroque, and wherever possible using salvaged bricks. So exceptional is this copy of Warsaw's historic centre that it has been declared a Unesco World Heritage site. Removalgroup no complaints
