See pass compatibility below ↓Overview & History
The Royal Castle anchors the eastern edge of Warsaw's Old Town Market Square, at the head of plac Zamkowy. Hitler's forces deliberately demolished the castle in 1944; what stands today is a meticulous post-war reconstruction, rebuilt largely from Canaletto's 18th-century cityscape paintings and salvaged fragments, and reopened to the public in 1984.
What to See: Top Highlights
