Old Town Market Square
Aspiring artists - note the angle of the sun on the buildings. They look
like paintings themselves. |

Fukier Restaurant
Fukier's House is named after its owners -the Polish branch of the powerful
family of German bankers Fuggers (Fukier is the Polonization of the German
name). Even German Emperors were in debt to them.
The Polish Fukiers bought the tenement in 1810. By that time the building
has been altered from the late Medieval style into Neo-Classical. During World
War II most of the building was destroyed. Those parts that survived -the
15th century cellars and the ground floor- are presently occupied by one
of the most stylish of Warsaw's restaurants, Fukier. |
