Nice. At first glance looks cool, but then, oh my, some areas are really butchered :S Poor Old Town and Plac Zamkowy - I'm familiar with the area and at first was scanning trying to find it visually by the features I know are there, but then in this model it's very different (wrong color, many more floors in this model, a 20-story building where at most should be at most a 5-story, the old town castle looking like a gray residential 'blok' and not the prettier structure that it is!).

I think you're looking at something else, because the Old Town isn't on the map at all. Unless part of it failed to load for me.

Yeah that was the first thing I looked for. I find it fascinating that the old town was rebuilt exactly as it was before, after the war. Especially because at that time Poland was under communist rule who usually didn't really care for such 'inefficient' aesthetics.

The rebuilt was motivated by preserving architecture important for national identity (which was something Polish communist authorities did buy into), not aesthetics.
