Nevertheless, no one known person, regardless of his status and position, failed to eclipse the most charming inhabitants of this park - numerous proteins and peacocks, freely walking along his alleys.
In Warsaw, it is not easy to find a place that is just as bright reflects the rapid history of not only the city, but also the whole country, like the Saxon Palace and its surroundings. Palace, where Chopin and his family lived more than seven years, was almost completely destroyed by the Germans during the Second World War. The only part of the palace, which has survived, has become a place for the grave of an unknown soldier. The square next to the palace is also a silent witness of history. Modern Pilsudsky Square throughout its existence was different names. For example, she was called the Victory Square (in the times of the Communist regime) or even the Adolf Hitler's Square (during the Nazi occupation). During the reign of the Russian Empire, the Orthodox Church was built here, which was demolished in the XX century. Pope John Paul II served Mass on the square, which gathered more than half a million people who were literally all the free space, including roofs of buildings and even lamppost poles.
In addition to architectural beauty, the important importance of the next interesting object - the Church of the Holy Cross is that it keeps the heart of Chopin, which is considered to be immersed in Brandy, has been preserved in amazingly good condition until today.

She had to convince the municipal authorities for a long time that Warsaw is a suitable place for this plant, more typical for tropical Africa. Although the initial idea was to install a whole group of such palm trees, as a result, permission was obtained only on the installation of one tree. Moreover, at first, some of the inhabitants of the city criticized the idea, calling her too controversial and expensive.
