Notes

Warsaw Old Town (the original city) was established in the 13th century. Initially surrounded by an earthwork rampart, prior to 1339 it was fortified with brick city walls. The town originally grew up around the castle of the Dukes of Mazovia that later became the Royal Castle.

The Vistula is the longest river in Poland and the ninth-longest river in Europe, at 1,047 kilometres in length. The river runs North to South from the Baltic Sea.
