WARSAW CITY BREAK

According to legend Warsaw was founded when a Mermaid ordered two fishermen Wars and Sawa, to form a city, today a mermaid with sword and shield is the city's symbol.

The history of Warsaw goes back to the late 13th century and early 14th century although the first record of its existence dates back to the 10th-11th century. In the 14th century Warsaw was proclaimed to be a capital of the Mazovian Principality. In the second half of the 15th century a double ring of fortified walls with towers and a deep moat surrounded the town. Following a fire in Wawel Castle, in Krakow, the royal residence was permanently moved to Warsaw, and the city prospered.

In 1795 Poland was erased from Europe's map for a period of 123 years and was controlled by Russia. On 11 th November 1918 Poland regained independence. The years between the First and Second World Wars were a period of development, but the Second World War and German occupation brought a halt to its development. After the Warsaw uprising in 1944, the town was destroyed with 84% of the buildings destroyed or in ruins and 650,000 people were killed.

Warsaw, the capital of Poland is a phenomenon on the European scale, it has been destroyed many times, burnt down and razed to the ground but it has always revived itself stronger and more beautiful.
