Heritage & geography
Poland’s history spans medieval kingdoms, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and a remarkable rebirth after the Second World War, when Warsaw’s Old Town was painstakingly rebuilt and later recognised by UNESCO. Its culture is shaped by Catholic tradition, the music of Chopin, folk crafts and hearty cuisine. Geographically, Poland stretches from the sandy Baltic coast through rolling plains and the Masurian lakes to the Tatra Mountains in the south.
