Through the Old Town at Night

 Below, there is the building that greets you as you enter the Old Town in Warsaw:

Walking through the Old Town in the middle of the night allowed me to notice many beautiful buildings that I wouldn't usually pay much attention to:


Normally, during daytime, I would be too busy dodging tourists to notice such great buildings.

Of course, it's amazing that Warsaw Old Town was rebuilt after being destroyed by the Germans during the 2nd World War.

The Barbican below is a kind of dividing line between two halves of Warsaw Old Town:

Just after passing through the Barbican, you encounter two churches.



The church of St. Jack (below) is run by the Dominicans and is popular with young people:

Beyond the two churches, there are some other interesting buildings that I wouldn't usually focus on during the daytime:


And in the New Town Square of the Old Town, there is some kind of theatre:


Which seems to be guarded by some kind of mythological creature with a shield:

As always, it was good to see Christmas decorations still up deep into January:



Really enjoyed this nightime venture through Warsaw Old Town, as it provided a sense of enchantment without any hustle and bustle.
