Warsaw University Library rooftop garden
Warsaw University Library roof garden, covering an area of over 1 ha, is one of the largest roof gardens in Europe. The garden is divided into two parts: the upper and the lower part, which are joined by a cascading stream.
The lower part includes amongst others a fish pond, where ducks have taken residence, as well as a series of granite sculptures on cosmological themes. The upper garden comprises of four parts: the golden part (to the north), the silver part (to the east), the crimson part (to the south) and the green part (to the west). Each one features different vegetation whose colors reflect their names.
Individual sections of the garden are connected by paths, bridges and pergolas. The rooftop is also an ideal viewing point of Warsaw’s panorama as well as the library interiors.
