The first historical reference to the town where I was born dates from 1321. In 1596 Sigmund 3rd Vasa, king of Poland and Sweden, started to transfer the capital here.

In case of these last you must remember that whole this town was plundered, burnt and completely ruined during the second world war and you can only admire the masterpieces of the art historians who have precisely rebuilt them for a few last decades. Year after years the town authorities provided for tourists something new. They turn one of the most crowded since centuries Krakowskie Przedmieście street off the city traffic so you can walk along King's Road from Old City and the Royal Castle to the Palace on the Lake (1690) in the Łazienki(Baths) Park enjoying views of XVIII century aristocracy palaces and then by means of transport to the Wilanów Palace (1682), summer residence of King John 3rd Sobieski.

Take note of the revision,
The first historical reference to the town where I was born dates from 1321. In 1596 Sigmund 3rd Vasa, king of Poland and Sweden, started to transfer the capital here. Besides many theatres, cinemas, museums, hotels and restaurants, you can find many historical places and buildings to visit. However, in regards to these sites, you must remember that this entire town was plundered, burnt, and completely ruined during the second world war. Therefore, you can only admire the replicas of the these buildings that were masterfully rebuilt by restoration artists and architects during the last few decades. Year after year, the town authorities have provided something new for tourists. For centuries, Krakowskie Przedmieście Street was one of the most crowded thoroughfares in the city. However, the town authorities eliminated the traffic so that you can walk along King's Road from Old City and the Royal Castle to the Palace on the Lake in the Łazienki(Baths) Park. You can enjoy the views of the XVIII century aristocracratic palaces and then, by means of transport to the Wilanów Palace, the summer residence of King John 3rd Sobieski.
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!
Not much to say EXCELLENT.

Visitors can then go by means of transport to the Wilanów Palace (1682), summer residence of King John 3rd Sobieski.
Hello Ryba. You have done very well with this exercise. Well done!
I have had to rearrange some of your wording. Please study it carefully, as it will help your learning.
Hi Martin! Excellent! I can not add any further corrections to those already made by my fellow reviewers.
I think Bry Kela has said it all!
Very interesting and accurate; this is very good writing.
I agree with Arvonius.
Excellent!

An alternative way is: 'They closed the most crowded streets of centuries, Krakowskie Przedmieście Street, to traffic making it a pedestrian area'
A very well constructed and interesting essay.
A 'masterpiece' is a building or object but the ability to recreate/rebuild to a high degree is 'mastery'.
Although the rebuilding was done in the precise
way of the old we use the term 'faithfully' here to explain the manner in which the rebuilding has been done.
You've made it sound good enough to visit!
excellent - don't think I can add any more comments
If you want to write something for people in general, use the pronoun one instead of the pronoun you.
In writing titles for someone, we do not use the abbreviations (3rd or 2nd) instead we use Roman numerals (King Louis XVI).
Re: centuries. we spell out the number unless it is a title or name, and it is hyphenated when used as an adjective: eighteenth-century art.
First and second world wars are written as World War I, and World War II or Second World War. Historical events: World War I, the Renaissance, the Crusades are all capitalized.
Note: the noun aristocracy verses the adjective aristocratic
The first historical reference to the town where I was born dates from 1321. In 1596, King Sigmund III Vasa of Poland and Sweden started to transfer the capital here. In addition to many theatres, cinemas, museums, hotels and restaurants, one can find many historical places and buildings to visit. In regards to these sites, one must remember that this entire town was plundered, burnt, and completely ruined during World War II. Therefore, one can only admire the replicas of the these buildings that were masterfully rebuilt by restoration artists and architects during the last few decades. Year after year, the town authorities have provided something new for tourists. For centuries, Krakowskie Przedmieście Street was one of the most crowded thoroughfares in the city until the town officials created an "off-limits" zone to city traffic, so that people could walk along King's Road from Old Town and up to the Royal Castle to the Palace on the Lake in the Łazienki (Baths) Park. Visitors can enjoy the views of the eighteenth-century palaces of the aristocracy and then, by means of transport, visit the Wilanów Palace, the summer residence of King John III Sobieski.
