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.
Even though the building is not located in the historical city centre, the Palace of Culture and Science is hard to miss for any visitor to Warsaw. It is high and enormous, a colossal building and still a landmark in the capital of Poland. Designed and built by Russians with Russian materials, the building was finished in the mid 1950s, and initially called the Stalin Palace, but before the decade was out, the building obtained its current name. You immediately recognize the Stalinist and Soviet style, and for this reason, the building has never been loved by the Poles.
