Little Copenhagen and the Little Mermaid statue in Warsaw

#Sign up for tripbest July Hotel Tester The Old City Market Square Rynek Starego Miasta is the center of Warsaw's Old Town and the most essential place. The square is rectangular and began to develop in the 13th century. The early town hall was here. Today, the old Baroque buildings around the square are colorful, and each row is named after an ancient politician, which is very interesting. Now most of these houses are restaurants, shops, galleries, etc. It is brightly lit at night and very lively. In the center of the market square is a mermaid statue Pomnik Syreny w Warszawie., which symbolizes Warsaw. Since the 16th century, mermaids have appeared on the coat of arms of Warsaw, and many things related to mermaids can be seen in the city. The statue was created by Konstanty Hegel in 1855, but because it was not only damaged, the old statue was collected in the Warsaw Museum in 2008, and the one on the square is a replacement replica. The two attractions are very similar to the capital of Denmark. Maybe it is because they are both Baltic countries. No wonder some people describe this place as Warsaw's Little Copenhagen.
