Warsaw - New Town

Warsaw has two historic districts, called Old Town and New Town. They are adjacent to each other and the newer section is almost as old as the Old Town.
It lies just north of the Old Town and is connected with it by Freta Street, which begins at the Barbican.

Warsaw's New Town (Polish: Nowe Miasto) was initially established to curb the unchecked growth that had snowballed beyond the city walls. Hence the New Town, founded in 1402, was given its own charter and corporation along the lines of its elder brother. A market square and town hall were built and a number of churches and monasteries sprung up. It was not fortified in contrast to the Old Town. The New Town was merged with the rest of the city in 1791.

Like the Old Town, the New Town was systematically destroyed by the Germans during World War II and was rebuilt after the war.
