Łazienki Park
Royal Baths Park, Warszawa
Łazienki Park, or the Royal Baths Park, is the largest park in Warsaw, Poland, occupying 76 hectares of the city center. The park-and-palace complex lies in the Downtown district, on Ujazdów Avenue, which is part of the Royal Route linking the Royal Castle with Wilanów Palace to the south.
In the mid-16th century the Łazienki area became part of the estates of Queen Bona Sforza, who ordered the construction of a wooden manor house with an Italian garden. In 1624 King Sigismund III Vasa erected, north of the present Łazienki Park, the quadrilateral stone Ujazdów Castle.
