“Sandcastle.” That’s what ‘babka’ means. That’s where the name Babka Tower comes from. Completed in 2001, the Babka Tower stands tall as a testament to modern Warsaw.
The Babka Tower wasn’t always called that. The nearby Radosława Roundabout was once known as Babka Roundabout. In the 1950s, road construction left a big pile of sand there. People started calling it “babka,” like a sandcastle. The name stuck and later transferred to this iconic building.
Standing here at 80 Jana Pawła II Avenue, it’s hard to miss. Babka Tower is more than just a pretty face. Its architectural height reaches 105 meters making it the first residential building in Poland to surpass 100 meters.
