Palace of Culture and Science

Completed in 1955, this towering structure was a gift from the Soviet Union and measures 231 meters in height, making it the tallest building in Poland. Primarily serving as a cultural and educational hub, it houses theaters, museums, and even a panoramic viewing terrace on the 30th floor that offers sweeping views of the city. Visitors can enjoy various exhibitions and events throughout the year, with the building beautifully illuminated during the winter holiday season.
