Polen
Warsaw
Ogrod park/War memorial/Supreme court

This is one of the oldest public parks in Poland. It is located in the city center, close to the Grand Theatre. Numerous sculptures, a sundial, and the most beautiful Warsaw fountain make this a favorite place for walks. Children will find here a large playground. It is also a great place for lovers of skating, or scooter.

The monument commemorates the thousands of heroes of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising who gave their lives for their homeland, having fought against the occupiers for 63 days under woefully uneven odds.

The Supreme Court. Erected at the end of the 20th century. The building is decorated with caryatids of virtuous symbols (faith, hope and love) and the columns are engraved with maxims of Roman law in both Polish and Latin. The building itself has a symbolic role in history, namely at its front gate: during World War II, this gate was one of those which led into the Jewish Ghetto.
