About Warsaw Poland
Warsaw became one of the principal cities in Poland comparatively late in history, but its central position favored rapid development, which even the many wars could not prevent. A mermaid (Syrena) holding a sword above her head in one hand and a shield in the other is the city's symbol. According to the legend, Warsaw was founded when the Mermaid ordered two fishermen Wars and Sawa, to form a city.
Warsaw, the capital of Poland is a phenomenon on the European scale. It has been destroyed many times, burnt down and razed to the ground but it has always revived itself stronger and more beautiful. This fact should be remembered when one visits Warsaw.
