This gargantuan sculpture of a building that punctures the Warsaw sky is the "Pałac Kultury i Nauki" or Palace of Culture and Science.
Joseph Stalin's "gift" to Warsaw continues to be a symbol of the ugly reality of Soviet domination for residents.
For visitors, this monstrosity is the tallest building in Warsaw and Poland and its viewing platform on the 30th floor is still the best place to get a view over Warsaw.
