Warszawa

Capital of the present Polish Republic, since the fire that destroyed the royal castle of de Cracow in 1596, Warsaw (in Polish Warszawa, from the name of two lovers on whom a mediaeval fable confers the role of the city's founders) is located in the Centre-East of the country, in the heart of the Mazovian plain. This is crossed from South to North by the Vistula, the river from which a mermaid, now the city's emblem, is said to have appeared, convincing our two lovers of the destiny awaiting this place.
