Presidential Palace, Warsaw — Attraction in Warsaw

Big thanks to the city council for organizing the Night of Museums for everyone! According to the tradition, this year The President Palace also took part in this citywide event. Despite the long queue and almost 3 hours of waiting it was totally worth it to entry the Palace and pace where the President is greetings his guests and sign important agreements.

Pałac Prezydencki w Warszawie - wcześniej Koniecpolskich, Radziwiłłów, Lubomirskich, Namiestnikowski, Rady Ministrów. W latach 1918–1939 był oficjalną siedzibą Rady Ministrów i Prezesa Rady Ministrów. Od 1994 oficjalna siedziba Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. Był wielokrotnie przebudowywany a swój obecny wygląd zewnętrzny uzyskał na początku XIX wieku. W czasie obrony Warszawy we wrześniu 1939 został poważnie uszkodzony. W 1965 przed pałacem ustawiono pomnik księcia Józefa Poniatowskiego, kopię z 1832, zniszczonego w grudniu 1944 przez Niemców. Kopia pomnika została ufundowana i wykonana przez Duńczyków na podstawie modelu oryginału. W 1990 rozpoczął się czteroletni generalny remont pałacu z przeznaczeniem na siedzibę Prezydenta RP i jego Kancelarii. Po zakończeniu remontu w 1994 pałac stał się oficjalną siedzibą Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej i otrzymał nową oficjalną nazwę – pałac Prezydencki.

It looks like an imposing building, large and grandiose, from the boulevard outside. I just came across this impressive building while walking on the main avenue which leads to the old town square. I visited the churches nearby and I took some pictures of the equestrian Statue of Prince Poniatowski. The palace has a very interesting history and it witnessed several dramatic historical events and regime changes. It was built for the first time in 1643 by an Italian architect named Costantino Tencalla and since then it went through various cycles of reconstruction and various artistic styles from baroque to classicist and...
