Warsaw, the Old Town
The Market Square, the colourful houses, the walls and the Barbican. After the 1944 Uprising the Germans razed the Old Town to the ground; between 1949 and the 1960s it was rebuilt using drawings by architecture students and the 18th-century views of Bernardo Bellotto, known as Canaletto. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980 precisely as an example of reconstruction.
