The story

Story · Warsaw Citadel

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at the Warsaw Citadel, a nineteenth-century fortress. Take a look at those tall brick walls. They weren't built to protect the city, but to keep it under control. Tsar Nicholas the First ordered it personally, right after the failed November Uprising of 1830. Russia wanted a firm grip on Warsaw.
