The Old Town, meticulously reconstructed using paintings by Italian artist Bernardo Bellotto, feels centuries old but is, in fact, less than a hundred years in its current form. Behind the medieval facades lie stories of uprisings, resistance, and quiet defiance. Visitors walking through Castle Square can enter the Royal Castle, where Poland’s Constitution of May 3, 1791 was adopted.
