About Poland
Poland spreads across the North European Plain from the Baltic coast to the Carpathian and Sudeten mountains. Its capital, Warsaw, painstakingly rebuilt after wartime destruction, thrives alongside historic cities like Krakow and Gdansk. A crossroads of European history, Poland has vanished from and returned to the map more than once, and today pairs medieval old towns and primeval forest with a fast-moving modern economy.
- Poland's Constitution of May 3, 1791 is celebrated as Europe's first modern written constitution, second in the world after that of the United States.
- The Bialowieza Forest on Poland's border with Belarus preserves ancient primeval woodland and shelters the European bison, the continent's heaviest land animal.
- The Wieliczka Salt Mine near Krakow contains chapels, sculptures, and chandeliers carved entirely from rock salt deep underground.
