The Warsaw Metropolitan Area Conference was organized by the Mazovian Regional Planning Office in Warsaw. Its purpose was to present the materials prepared since 2004 for the spatial development plan for the Warsaw Metropolitan Area and to confront them with plans drawn up in other European metropolises. The plans were also confronted in the context of the importance of metropolitan plans for regional development and their position in the planning system. The materials presented by the Mazovian Regional Planning Office were prepared in the form of the publication of the Study of the Spatial Development Plan of the Warsaw Metropolitan Area.

The article gives suggestions on how to include Mazovian monuments in the tourist movement and how to make monuments an attraction that will attract tourists every weekend. There are more than 6,000 listed monuments and more than 6,000 archaeological sites in Mazovia. However, few of them are known to the average Mazovian. That is why the idea of creating a Route of Mazovian Princes was born, which runs through the whole of Mazovia, linking about 100 localities worthy of visitors’ attention. Thematic tourist trails are one way to promote the region’s cultural heritage.

As envisioned by the Hague Convention of May 14, 1954, the Blue Shield mark was intended to serve a recognition function – to indicate objects and means of transport to be protected in the event of armed conflict. It has become an international symbol, protecting historic buildings from devastation and oblivion, used much more widely than provided for in the Convention. Many global heritage organizations and initiatives have adopted the mark as their own logo.

The paper is an attempt to answer the question of whether every property is worth and should be included in the register of monuments, posed from the point of view of the owner of a property “with a past”. I discuss the problem using the example of a manor house in Huta Minska, showing the difficulties faced by its owners and the changes they make to this property, related to necessary repairs and necessary modernization.

Socialist Realist buildings occupy a large part of the main arteries in Warsaw. Marszałkowska, Krucza, Jerozolimskie Avenues, Grójecka, Solidarności Avenue are clad with them. They are an eloquent testimony of their times and, like the old buildings, tell us about the past. Before the category of monument was defined and the need to protect works of the past was understood, most of the Colosseum and the Acropolis were demolished, Paris was rebuilt.

The erection of the Transatlantic Broadcasting Radio Station was the largest radio communications investment in the history of the Second Republic. The installation had a huge range and used state-of-the-art solutions. Its area became the scene of bloody battles during the defense of Warsaw in September 1939. In early 1945, the Transatlantic Broadcasting Radio Station was completely destroyed.

August 1828, eighteen-year-old Fryderyk Chopin spent in Sanniki, at the home of his school friend Konstanty Pruszak. This information raises a number of questions and doubts. Where did he live? What did the Pruszaks’ summer residence look like at the time? Was it a palace that at least partially resembles a contemporary one? In January 2011, renovation and adaptation work began in the historic palace complex in Sanniki to become the Frederic Chopin European Art Center.

Recognition of the stock of historic parks and gardens on Warsaw’s territory and an assessment of their current state of preservation are needed for the proper formation of conservation policy and management of these objects. For the most part, the decisions entering parks in the register of monuments in the capital date from the 1960s and 1970s and do not specify the subject and boundaries of protection. In the body of the decision, only the name and address of the park is given, and the justification for the entry is customarily the historic, artistic and historical value.
