Praga Cathedral (St. Florian's)

Neo-Gothic cathedral in Praga — one of the few Warsaw churches that survived the war intact

St. Florian's Cathedral is the main church in the Praga district and one of the few Warsaw churches that survived World War II. Built between 1888 and 1904 in the Neo-Gothic style, it served as Stalin's headquarters for a period in 1945. The interior contains original stained glass and furnishings — a rare survival in a city where almost everything was destroyed.

The cathedral stands in the heart of historic Praga, surrounded by the pre-war tenement blocks that give the district its distinctive character. It's worth a look if you're exploring Praga, and provides a useful contrast with the reconstructed churches of the Old Town.
