Old Town Square (Rynek Starego Miasta)

The historic bas relief of a lion on the corner of townhouse in the Old Town in Warsaw
Warsaw’s Old Town was almost entirely flattened by the Germans during the 1944 uprising. After the war the area was rebuilt house by house. It’s the largest reconstruction projects ever undertaken. Today the Old Town is Warsaw’s main tourist attractions and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

That is beautiful detailing. So much of historical and artistic value was destroyed by the war and never recovered. I'm glad to know that this, at least, has been rebuilt. Thanks for sharing.
