We can see Stalin’s Penis from the window of our hotel room. No, seriously.
The Palace of Culture and Science — Poland’s tallest building at over 700 feet — is a Warsaw landmark. It was a “gift” from Stalin in the 1950s that the people of Warsaw couldn’t refuse. Because it was to be “Soviet in substance and Polish in style,” Soviet architects actually toured Poland to absorb the local culture before starting the project. To show their gratitude, the people of Warsaw nicknamed it “Stalin’s penis.” (source)
