Fountain in the Saxon Garden

Warsaw, Poland

The Saxon Garden (Ogrod Saski) is a 15.5–hectare public garden in Warsaw's Downtown, facing Pilsudski Square, and is the oldest public park in Warsaw.
Founded in the late 17th century, it was opened to the public in 1727 as one of the first publicly accessible parks in the world.
It became the public park earlier than Versailles (1791), Pavlovsk, Peterhof and Summer Garden (1918), Villa d'Este (1920), Kuskovo (1939), Stourhead (1946), Sissinghurst (1967), Stowe (1990), Vaux-le-Vicomte (1990s),
and most other world-famous parks and gardens.

Initially a baroque French-style park, in the 19th century it was turned into a Romantic English-style landscape park.
Destroyed during and after the Warsaw Uprising, it was partly reconstructed after World War II.
