Biography
View old mayors

We can trace the history of Warsaw back to the middle ages, over 1400 years ago. At the beginning, what would later become the bustling Polish capital, were several clumped up villages. In the 9th century, the fortifactions built around them became the centre, which can still be visited today, labeled as The Old Town of Warsaw. The history of the city is extremely dynamic and full of twists and turns. Warsaw has experienced some of the most devastating battles, uprisings and wars in the region while the territory of the  whole country has been repeatedly divided among other nations. The city suffered exceptional losses and gave many casualties during the two World Wars. It has since rapidly recovered and today it is a well-developed economic and cultural center.
