A weapon storehouse built in 1638-43 on the initiative of King Wtadystaw IV Vasa on the bastion next to so-called Sigismund's Embankments. Altered several times, in 1835 converted into a prison and in 1935-38 into the Municipal Archives.
On March 26, 1943 near the building an action took place to rescue prisoners held by the Gestapo, including Jan Bytnar "Rudy".

During the post-war rebuilding the statue was placed on a column made of strzegomski granite and was unveiled on July 22, 1949, on the opening day of the W-Z Route. Previous columns were preserved and can now be seen near the southern wing of the Royal Castle.

Destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt in 1950-56 to become the National Theater and Film School (now the Theater Academy).
Holy Trinity Evangelical Church
During each income phase, the owner gains 2 victory points.
The church was designed by Szymon B. Zug and built near what later became Malachowski Square in 1781. For a long time it was the biggest temple in the city. In 1825 Frederic
Chopin played the aeolomelodikon there in front of Tsar Alexander I. In 1857 Karol Beyer took the first panoramic photograph of the city from the church's dome. At the end of the 19th century, when W.H. Lindley was creating a plan of Warsaw, the cross on the dome was recognized as the geodetic center of the city. Destroyed in September 1939, initially rebuilt to be a concert hall, it has been an Evangelical-Augsburg temple again since 1956.
Royal Baths Park
Royal Baths Park
You score 2 [q]
During each income phase, the owner may score 2 parks instead of 1.
This vast palace-and-park complex owes its shape to King Stanislaw August Poniatowski, who after 1772 initiated the expansion of the Bath built by Stanislaw H. Lubomirski. By land and numerous objects were erected in the park, including the Mysle- wicki Palace, the Island Theater, the White House and the Orangery with the Royal Theater. In 1817 the complex was sold to tsar Alexander I and new buildings were erected in, among others, the part of the park close to the Belvedere. Made available to the public after the 1st World War.

Polish Telephone Joint-stock Company
During each income phase, the owner gains 1 victory point for each residential area ad- jacent to at least one public building. (Being adjacent to more than one public building gives no additional benefit).
Built in 1907-10, the seat of the Cedergren company's telephone exchange was the highest building in the Russian Empire at the time when it was erected. In 1922 it was taken over by the Polish Joint-Stock Telephone Company (PAST). During the Warsaw Uprising the building was a subject of fierce fights which resulted in the insurgents controlling it and the Germans losing an important vantage point. It was rebuilt in a simplified form in 1950s-1960s and in 2000 it was given to the veterans' community, which led to topping it with Fight- ing Poland's anchor symbol.
Warsaw-vienna Railway
During each income phase, the owner may sell 4 coins to gain 2 victory points or sell 2 victory points to gain 6 coins.
The first railway in the Kingdom of Poland connected Warsaw to Cracow (and then Vien- na) in 1848. Started in 1845 on the section

It included, among oth- ers: artificial lakes, a hill with a waterfall, a rose garden and numer- ous avenues. At the end of the 1920s sculptures were placed in the park: "The Rhythm", "The Bathing Woman" and "The Dancer". In 1929 it was named after Ignacy J. Paderewski. Due to ideological issues, after 1945 it lost Paderewski's name, which returned only in 1981. Edward House's monument had similar problems - unveiled in 1932, it was removed in 1945 and reconstructed in 1991.
between Warsaw and Grodzisk Mazowiecki, the line ended at the junc- tion of Aleje Jerozolimskie and Marszalkowska streets (the Vienna Sta- tion). The railway became a strong spur for the development of the areas around the station and numerous industrial plants in the district of Wola. During the interwar period, due to the alteration of the Warsaw junction, the Vienna Station was replaced by the new Main Railway Station.
During each income phase, the owner may sell 6 coins to gain 3 victory points, or sell 3 victory points to gain 9 coins.

Lower stories contained offices, while upper ones - lux- urious apartments. Top two stories housed an experimental TV station, and the whole building was topped with a TV broadcasting antenna. Significantly damaged during the 2nd World War, it was rebuilt in 1950- 53 to house the "Warsaw" hotel, which functioned until 2002. Complete refurbishment of the skyscraper, supposed to bring back its pre-war look, started in 2010.

The most important railway station in Warsaw was made available to the public in 1975 and built near the pre-war main station which was replaced by a commuter station, Warszawa Srodmiescie. At the mo- ment of opening it was one of the most modern stations in Poland, with an escalator, automatic doors, a spacious hall with counters andfourplat- forms for long-distance trains. Together with the station, a complex of underground passages was created, for example, under what is now the Czterdziestolatka Roundabout. Not renovated for many years, considered one of the worst Polish stations at the beginning of the 21st century, it was modernized in 2010-12. In 2015-16 a mezzanine was built and numer- ous minor repairs were made.

Designed in 1947-48 in the post-war modernist style, a department store with big windows filling the whole elevation. Finished in 1951, when the socialist realism doctrine was in power and therefore heavily criticized by the government. Its interior burned down completely in a fire in 1975. After being renovated, it was turned into the Central Orphanage, named "Smyk" in the 1980s. As part of general refurbishment started in 2014, most of the building was pulled down - a new office-and-commerce build- ing is to be built behind the renovated elevation.
in 1957 as a cast steel foundry. In subsequent years (until 1968) further sections were opened: steelworks, a drawing mill and several rolling mills.

During the People's Republic of Poland era only a few skyscrapers were built in Warsaw. Only after 1989, in a new economic situation, did War- saw start climbing up. Near the Palace of Culture, which had dominated the city's skyline for almost 40 years, new skyscrapers emerged, housing offices, hotels and luxurious apartments; some were designed by architects of international renown. Apart from buildings erected on empty lots, there is also a tendency to replace low buildings with skyscrapers (e.g., Ztota 44, Q22). The idea to build a group of skyscrapers in the immediate neighbor- hood of the Palace of Culture is still under discussion.
Golden Terraces
During each income phase, the owner gains 1 victory point for each commercial area in their district.
