The park and palace complex where half of Warsaw descends on a Sunday to take the traditional family stroll. Notable features amid the landscaped gardens include the art-deco Chopin monument (1926), the palace on the water (remodelled in 1792), an old orangery and a classicist amphitheatre loosely inspired by Herculaneum. The 74 hectare site originally served as the residence of Stanisław August Poniatowski - Poland’s last monarch. In spite of sporadic damage, much of the dynamite laid by Nazi troops failed to destroy the buildings.
