Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Ujazdów Park (Polish: Park Ujazdowski) is one of the most picturesque parks of Warsaw, Poland. It borders Aleje Ujazdowskie (Ujazdów Avenue), with its many embassies and Sejm building.From the late Middle Ages the area had been occupied by the village of Ujazdów, located several miles south of Warsaw''s Old Town. In 1619-1625 a palace and garden were built here by Giovanni Battista Trevano for King Sigismund III Vasa.In 1782 King Stanis aw August Poniatowski bought the village and relocated it about a kilometer west (near what is now the main campus of the Warsaw Polytechnic), while the old village''s area (along the axis of the "Royal Road") was turned into Pole Marsowe (the Field of Mars), a large square for military parades, modeled and named after Paris'' Champ de Mars.[2] The village itself was renamed Nowa Wie ("New Village") and gave its name to the present-day ulica Nowowiejska (New Village Street).
