Celebrating 80 Years: Poland in 1970

Sunday, November 7, 2010

Things you may not have known about Poland:

In the heart of Europe, Poland has one of the richest histories in the region. Since its inception in the 10th century, the country has been the birthplace of Copernicus, two-time Nobel Prize-winner Maria Sklodowska-Curie and composer Chopin, and has surived near-complete destruction in World War II and the the restoration of the historic district, "Old Town," with the use of old documents.

In 1970, the country's capital, Warsaw, counted The Old City, the Ghetto Memorial and the Palace of Culture and Science among its top choice sites. Krakow, the former capital until 1596, featured the country's largesse of history alongside Lenin Steel Works, the Baltic city of Gdansk ushered visitors into the 600-year-old church of St. Mary's, and rates throughout Poland flourished. (Read the full article here.)

Not a relic of the past, Poland's legacy burns as brightly as it did forty years ago. Visitors to the present-day country continue to enjoy the Warsaw Opera House and Krakow's Wawel Castle, preserved within the dramatically changed landscape of post-Soviet Europe.
