Il Castello Reale, originariamente costruito tra il 1598 e il 1619, fu il luogo in cui venne redatta la prima costituzione moderna d'Europa e la seconda costituzione nazionale scritta al mondo: la Costituzione del 1793. (La più antica costituzione scritta al mondo è la Costituzione degli Stati Uniti del 1788). Storicamente, il Castello Reale è stato ripetutamente danneggiato e saccheggiato dalle truppe svedesi, del Brandeburgo, tedesche e russe. Subì gravi danni durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, ma fu ricostruito secondo il progetto originale dopo la guerra.

Questo palazzo è bello e interessante all'interno, ma non è molto grande. Il giardino è suggestivo, ma non così imponente come quelli francesi, ovviamente.

The Barbican was built in 1548, it is directly situated where the Old Town merges into in the New Town. It served as an access gate for the Old Town and is integrated directly into the Warsaw City Wall that surrounds the Old Town.
