One of Warsaws most impressing sights is the palace tower in the centre of the city.
The official name of the building is “Pałac Kultury i Nauki”, which means “Palace of Culture and Science” in English language.
The construction works started in 1952. 3 years later the whole tower was completed. The palace was built by 3.500 workers from Sovietunion. It was a gift from Stalin. Also the plans of the building had their origin in the Sovietunion.
Palace of Culture and Science is not loved by everyone in Warsaw. A lot of people see it as a monument of Russian occupation and complain about the destruction of the aesthetic balance of Warsaws old city.
