The Old Town in Warsaw was established in the 13th century but almost totally demolished in the second World War. After the war Old Town was meticulously rebuilt. As many as possible of the original bricks were reused. However the reconstruction was not necessarily built accurately to pre-war Warsaw, often by deferring to an earlier period, attempting to improve upon the original, or by adding an authentic looking facade to cover a more modern building. The rubble was sifted for reusable decorative elements, which were reinserted into their original places.
Today Old town in Warsaw is listed as one of Unescos world heritages sites.

view of Zamek Lubelski (Lublin Castle) from the arcade viaduct on Zamkowa (Castle) Street
The Lublin Castle (Zamek Lubelski) is a medieval castle in Lublin, Poland, adjacent to the Old Town district and close to the city center. It is one of the oldest preserved royal residencies in Poland, initially established by High Duke Casimir II the Just. Its contemporary Gothic Revival appearance is largely due to a reconstruction undertaken in the 19th century.
The hill it is on was first fortified with a wood-reinforced earthen wall in the 12th century. In the first half of the 13th century, the stone keep was built. It still survives and is the tallest building of the castle, as well as the oldest standing building in the city. In the 14th century, during the reign of Casimir III the Great, the castle was rebuilt with stone walls. Probably at the same time, the castle's Chapel of the Holy Trinity was built as a royal chapel.
In the first decades of the 15th century, King Władysław II Jagiełło commissioned a set of frescoes for the chapel. They were completed in 1418 and are preserved to this day. The artist was a Ruthenian, Master Andrej, who signed his work on one of the walls. Because of their unique style, mixing Western and Eastern Orthodox influences, they are acclaimed internationally as an important historical monument.
Under the rule of the Jagiellon dynasty the castle enjoyed royal favor and frequent stays by members of the royal family. The sons of King Casimir IV Jagiellon were brought up in the castle under the tutelage of Jan Długosz. In the 16th century, it was rebuilt on a grandiose scale, under the direction of Italian masters brought from Kraków. The most momentous event in the castle's history was the signing in 1569 of the Union of Lublin, the founding act of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
As a consequence of the wars in the 17th century (The Deluge), the castle fell into disrepair. Only the oldest sections, the keep and the chapel, remained intact. After Lublin fell under Russian rule following the territorial settlement of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the government of Congress Poland, on the initiative of Stanisław Staszic, carried out a complete reconstruction of the castle between 1826 and 1828. The new buildings were in the English neo-Gothic style, completely different from the structures they replaced, and their new purpose was to house a criminal prison. Only the keep and the chapel were preserved in their original state.
The castle was a prison for the next 128 years: as a Tsarist prison from 1831 to 1915, in independent Poland from 1918 to 1939, and most infamously during the Nazi German occupation from 1939 to 1944. Under Tsarist Russia prisoners included Polish resistance members, one of the most notable being writer Bolesław Prus. When between 40,000 and 80,000 inmates, many of them Polish resistance fighters and Jews, passed through. During World War II, the Castle Chapel was the location of a German court. Many prisoners were sent from the castle to concentration camps, including nearby Majdanek. Just before withdrawing on 22 July 1944, the SS and German prison officers massacred over 300 of the remaining prisoners. After 1944, the castle continued as a prison of the Soviet secret police and later of the Soviet-installed communist regime of Poland and, until 1954, about 35,000 Poles fighting against the new communist government (especially cursed soldiers) passed through it, of whom 333 died.
In 1954, the castle prison was closed. Following reconstruction and refurbishment, since 1957 it has been the main site of the National Museum.

Walking in The Old Town in Piran :)
Piran is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic Sea. The town is known for its medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses and it's one of Slovenia's major tourist attractions. Architecture of Piran resembles the Italian Venice, to which it belonged in the past, together with Istria. Most of the buildings, as well as the medieval walls separating the city from the rest of the mainland, also come from this period. In the middle of the town is the Tartini Square, with a monument in memory of Giuseppe Tartini. Nearby are located various important buildings, such as Tartini’s house, first mentioned in 1384 and one of the oldest in town, the Municipal Palace. The area of Piran has been inhabited since ancient times. The name of the town most probably originates from the Greek "pyros", meaning fire, due to ancient lighthouses which were supposed to be on the edge of the marina. From 1283 to 1797, the town became part of the Republic of Venice and then was annexed to the Austrian Empire. In 1954 The town was annexed to Yugoslavia.

Spacerujemy po wąskich zaułkach na starówce w Piranie :)
Piran – miasto w Słowenii, siedziba gminy Piran, położone na skalistym cyplu, jest jednym z najatrakcyjniejszych turystycznie miejsc nad słoweńskim Adriatykiem, słynnym ze ze średniowiecznej architektury z wąskimi uliczkami i zwartą zabudową. Swą architekturą o przypomina włoską Wenecję, do której wraz z Istrią należało w przeszłości. Z tego okresu pochodzi też większość zabudowy, a także średniowieczne mury, oddzielające miasto od reszty lądu. Reprezentacyjny plac Tartiniego powstał pod koniec XIX wieku, po zasypaniu wewnętrznego basenu portowego (1894). Mieści się przy nim ratusz i budynek sądu oraz zachowana z obwarowań brama św. Jerzego. Obszar Piranu był zasiedlony od czasów antycznych, a nazwa miasta wywodzi się od greckiego "pyrá", oznaczającego ognisko, ponieważ na krańcu półwyspu zapalano ogień jako punkt orientacyjny dla statków płynących do portu Koper. W 1283 wraz z wybrzeżem Istrii Piran przeszedł pod władzę Republiki Weneckiej, zaś po upadku potęgi Wenecji (1797) Piran przeszedł pod panowanie Habsburgów, zaś w 1954r. znalazł się w granicach Jugosławii.
