Staszic Palace, Neoclassical palace at Krakowskie Przedmieście, Warsaw, Poland

The Staszic Palace exhibits classical columns, expansive staircases, and decorative elements designed by architect Antonio Corazzi according to neoclassical principles in 1820.

The palace underwent significant changes when Russian architect Vladimir Pokrovsky transformed its appearance between 1892 and 1895 by adding Byzantine architectural elements.

The building houses the Polish Academy of Sciences and functions as a center for scientific research, academic conferences, and intellectual gatherings.

Located at the intersection of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Nowy Świat streets, the palace stands near the famous Nicolaus Copernicus monument.

The structure features majolica brick facades and underwent multiple transformations, including destruction during World War II and subsequent reconstruction between 1946 and 1950.
