30 PL - Historic Centre of Warsaw (1980)

Brief Description

"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."
华沙历史中心
"1944年8月华沙起义期间,华沙历史中心85%以上的建筑遭到纳粹部队的摧毁。二战之后,华沙人民用长达5年的时间重建古城,他们修建了教堂、宫殿和贸易场所。华沙的重生是13世纪至20世纪建筑史上不可抹灭的一笔。"
