Your guide introduces Warsaw’s origins, royal history, and the dramatic events that shaped the capital.

King Sigismund's Column (Kolumna Zygmunta)
Standing proudly in the center of Castle Square, King Sigismund’s Column commemorates the monarch who moved Poland’s capital from Kraków to Warsaw. Learn why a Swedish-born king became one of the city’s most important historical figures and how the column itself survived destruction and reconstruction.
