Castle Square is a historic square in Warsaw, Poland, that serves as the gateway to Warsaw's Old Town. The square features the Royal Castle and Sigismund's Column, and is surrounded by historic townhouses. It forms the starting point of the Royal Route. The Old Town, including Castle Square, suffered extensive damage during World War II and was reconstructed in the postwar period. In 1980, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) inscribed the Historic Centre of Warsaw on the list of World Heritage Sites as an example of the near-total reconstruction of a historic town centre. This photograph shows an elevated view of Castle Square in 2024, as seen from the tower of St. Anne's Church, facing roughly northwards. Sigismund's Column can be seen in the foreground on the left, and the Royal Castle is the building on the right of the image. A part of the facade and roof of St. John's Archcathedral is visible in the background.Photograph credit: Rhododendrites
