The Palace of Culture, or "Stalin's Rocket"

Here's a few pics of Warsaw's Palace of Culture. Completed in 1956, it was a "gift" from the Soviet Union to their Polish comrades, and up until recently was the tallest building in the city. In fact, around the time it was built, a law was passed stipulating that no taller structure could be built. This year the palace celebrates its 50th anniversary, and even if you don't know a thing about architecture, you have to admit, this is a pretty neat looking building.
