Warsaw Poland (part II)

...as we continue...here are more photos from Warsaw rainy trip.
The Royal Castle in Warsaw/ Zamek Królewski w Warszawie
The personal offices of the king and the administrative offices
of the Royal Court of Poland were located there from the
16th century until the Partitions of Poland.
In its long history the Royal Castle was repeatedly devastated
and plundered by Swedish, Brandenburgian,German and Russian armies
Nowadays, the Castle serves as the Museum and is subordinated to the Ministry of Culture
 and National Heritage. Many official visits and state meetings are held in the
Royal Castle, too. Over 500,000 people visit the Royal Castle every year
