Land of Beautifully, Detailed Architecture

Warsaw is the largest of Polish cities in the country and to some, it is known as the “phoenix city.” The young, modernized city has seen so much death and fighting in the past. It has even been given an award, the highest military decoration specifically—the Order Virtuti Militari for cities with heroic defense—for the people’s admirable courage to defend themselves from the enemy in the year 1939.

The city is rich with beautiful architecture. Its churches, mansions and palaces are characterized by color and intricate architectural details. You can find every kind of European architecture style of every historical period of Europe in Warsaw (Poland). There are the gothic-styled buildings and then there are those that are from the renaissance era. Others are then from the baroque and the neoclassical periods. These artistic architectures are only a walk away from the center of the town. This makes looking at them convenient for the tourists.

While St. John’s Cathedral exemplifies the Masovial gothic style, the Barczyco house is said to have come from that of the Renaissance era due to how it looks, its architectural style rather.
