He showed us and commented many interesting points, courtyards, buildings, squares. And Łukasz made always sure we were happy and comfortable.

Thank you Łukasz for this great afternoon ! I wish you the best for your carreer and life !

The Temple of the Sybil, a garden pavilion from 18 The Temple of the Sybil, a garden pavilion from 1822, designed by Jakub Kubicki. It stands in the 19th century Romantic Garden in the Łazienki Park. It's inspired by ancient temples, especially the Temple of Garni in Armenia. What's interesting about it is that it's entirely made of wood, including columns.

The oldest sundial of the Royal Łazienki. It's su The oldest sundial of the Royal Łazienki. It's supported by a sculpture of a Satyr, a male horse or goat-human hybrid from Greek and Roman mythology. They were lovers of wine, music, dancing, and women, always ready for every physical pleasure, with a permanent, exaggerated erection. I think it's a softer version here :-)
The sculpture by Johann Chrysostomus Redler or Andre le Brun, ca. 1777.

This half kilometer block of flats was built in 19 This half kilometer block of flats was built in 1971-1973 opposite the Warszawa Wschodnia train station as a curtain covering neglected Praga district from passengers' eyes. It contains 43 separate staircases, 430 flats, 132 garages, and it's dedicated to 1200 inhabitants. I'd rather see run-down tenements :-)

A tenement from the turn of the 19th and 20th cent A tenement from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Praga Północ district. Plaster was originally applied to those brick walls, but it fell off cause of lack of renovations. It houses municipal flats, and some of them are still occupied.
