Exchange and Bank of Poland Building, Neoclassical bank building in Śródmieście, Warsaw, Poland
The Exchange and Bank of Poland Building features a corner rotunda crowned with a dome decorated with bas-reliefs depicting figures holding symbols of peace and trade.
Constructed between 1825 and 1828 under architect Antonio Corazzi, the building served as the first central bank during the Congress Kingdom period in Poland.
Since 1989, the building houses the John Paul II Collection Museum, displaying Western European art collected by Janina and Zbigniew Porczynski.
The building stands at Plac Bankowy 1A in Warsaw, maintaining its position as a central architectural landmark in the capital's financial district.
The structure underwent reconstruction between 1950 and 1954, which modified the original dome proportions and simplified the interior decorative elements.
