During the Warsaw Uprising in August 1944, more than 85% of Warsaw's
historic centre was destroyed by Nazi troops. After the war, a five-year
reconstruction campaign by its citizens resulted in today's meticulous
restoration of the Old Town, with its churches, palaces and
market-place. It is an outstanding example of a near-total
reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th
century.
