• Warsaw Old Town - This is the city’s oldest area, featuring numerous historic buildings primarily from the 17th and 18th centuries, including the Royal Castle, city walls, St. John’s Cathedral, and the Barbican. The settlement dates back to the 13th and 14th centuries.

During World War II, the Old Town was almost completely destroyed and later rebuilt. This was the world’s first attempt to restore an entire historic city center and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1980. The reconstruction efforts were further acknowledged in 2011 when all related documents and records were included in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme.

• King Sigismund’s Column (Kolumna Zygmunta) - Erected in 1644, Sigismund’s Column (Polish: Kolumna Zygmunta) stands at Castle Square.

• Rynek Starego Miasta - Warsaw’s Old Town Market Square (Polish: Rynek Starego Miasta) is the heart and oldest section of the Old Town of Warsaw, Poland.

Today, it is a major tourist attraction. The current buildings were reconstructed between 1948 and 1953 to resemble their 17th-century appearance when they were mostly inhabited by wealthy merchant families. A bronze sculpture of The Warsaw Mermaid by Konstanty Hegel has adorned its center since 1855.
