Located in the city centre and spanning 76ha (188 acres), this park is a great place to visit on a hot summer’s day.
The Palace on the Isle, also known as Baths Palace, is a classicist palace in Warsaw’s Royal Baths Park, the city’s largest park. The building, erected on a square plan, was richly decorated with stuccos, statues, and paintings; some of the original decorations and architectural details survive. In 1766 King Stanislaus Augustus purchased the estate and converted the bathing pavilion into a classicist summer residence, with an English garden. During the final stages of World War II, the retreating Germans devastated the interior of the Palace and drilled holes in the structure in preparation for destruction. However, the plan was never carried out. Wikipedia
