The Saxon Garden in Warsaw is currently the capital's city park, but it wasn't always like that. The Saxon Garden is also a witness to history and a place that could tell more than one interesting story. While walking through the Saxon Garden, we will answer the question of where the shower in our bathrooms came from. If you like my work, I would be grateful if you could buy me a coffee from the link below.
