"Plastered across the front of many of the most important and beautiful buildings in Poland are a series of gigantic advertising billboards, dozens of metres across...Here in Warsaw, the Royal Castle has an enormous advert running 80 metres down one side. The old town square, painstakingly rebuilt from ruins after World War II, is the home to three giant billboards."
