If the walls of Warsaw could talk, they would recount a tale of transformation, resilience, and an era that left an indelible mark on the city's landscape—Communism. For 45 years, Poland was under communist rule, and Warsaw was the epicenter of radical societal shifts that would forever change its identity. The buildings, squares, and monuments from this period are not just bricks and mortar; they are living testaments to the city's complex past. Do you want to know more?
