Originally a gift from the Russian people to Warsaw, the Palace of Culture now is a colossal reminder of old times in a rapidly modernizing Warsaw.
In fact, the tower is some 231 metres in height, with a further 43 metres of the spire that sits on top, and when you walk around it, the building quickly gains in imminence. The surrounding buildings seem no longer to be there to play down the impact of the building, and the solid grey walls dwarf you completely. The building has a very effective and simple style, with harsh elements and little elegance. The brutal Soviet style statues do little do mitigate this effect. The building is still being used as a culture centre (the Rolling Stones performed here in 1967!), offering cinemas, theatre, museums, conference halls, etcetera. But with time, the building is becoming a museum piece itself.
