The Lazienki Gardens is one of the largest parks in Europe. The summer residence of Stanislaw August Poniatowski was constructed in the 16th and17th centuries on the grounds of a former game park at the foot of Ujazdowski Castle that had been used for hunting by the dukes of Mazovia. On the photo - the Palace on the Water, the amphitheatre on the island, and, for the observant, a school of royal carp in the lake.
