Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland.
The first fortified settlements on the site of today's Warsaw were built during the 9th/10th century.
Warsaw became the capital of the Commonwealth and the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland in 1596.
Following the Congress of Vienna of 1815, Warsaw became the centre of Congress Poland, a constitutional monarchy under a personal union with Imperial Russia.
In 1944, Hitler ordered the entire city to be razed to the ground and the library and museum collections taken to Germany or burned. About 85% of the city had been destroyed, including the historic Old Town and the Royal Castle.
After World War II, many of the historic streets, buildings, and churches were restored to their original form. In 1980, Warsaw's historic Old Town was inscribed onto UNESCO's World Heritage list.
Warsaw's mixture of architectural styles reflects the turbulent history of the city and country, providing many examples of architecture from the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, neoclassical and modern periods.
