The Allied attack On Monte Casino was led by the Polish 2nd. Corps. under the leadership of General W. Anders. The street the monument stands on was named after him and there is a statue of the General nearby. We looked at the sparkling white monument set against a sunny blue sky trying to guess what it actually depicted, a headless angle, well maybe. Our thoughts then turned to the soldiers and their hard fought battle. Just before we came to the monument we saw a much smaller and less elaborate tribute but none the less thought provoking.

 Monument to Adam
Mickiewicz by evaanna
The monument was erected in 1898, at the time of partitioned Poland, when no new monuments, except in cemeteries or churches, were allowed by the Russian authorities, so a great exception was made here due to special endeavours of the most influential Poles. The author of the monument was C.Godebski, a Rome-based Polish sculptor. Note the beautiful artistic wrought-iron railings, a work of art in themselves.

You can see this monument from a distance, walking in the Lazienki Park, as it overlooks the same lake as the Palace on the Water. To have a closer look at it, you must walk a little up Agrykola Street and it is on your right. The monument represents King Jan III Sobieski in armour mounted on a horse, with a Turk begging for mercy under the horse's hooves, and commemorates Sobieski's victory at Vienna in 1683. The stone bridge the monument stands on was constructed in 1779 -1780 and the monument erected in 1788. The sculptor, Franciszek Pinck based his sculpture on a drawing by Lebrun of a monument to Sobieski in Wilanow by an unknown artist.
The scene presented by this monument had a strong appeal to me as a child, but was also greatly confusing. On the one hand, I was supposed to be proud of the king's victory, on the other I was sorry for the poor man lying under the horse. Leave a Comment Address: Agrykola Street

It is said that the citizens of Warsaw don't like the memorial, because the Soviet soldiers hid in the Praga district while the Nazis devasted the city centre.

The Soviet War Memorial is situated at the junction of Targowa and al. Solidarnosci in the Praga district. Leave a Comment

 The monument of small
insurgent in Warsaw. by chiara76
It is located exatly in the edge of the Old Town.
It was projected by Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz (by the project from year 1946) and built in year 1983.
This is the monument of small boy...
As you maybe know the was very important event in the history of Poland and especially Warsaw's one.
I mean Warsaw's Uprising in year 1944.
It was very hard moment in the history when Warsaw's people put up the resistance to the Germans.
The Polish people thought they would win there but unfortunately not...we didn't win then.
The whole Warsaw was distroyed then and you can even see the photos from that hard days of my town on the internet page:
http://www.poland.pl/gallery/gallery.htm?gal_id=121254&what=new
Don't think that only adults fighted during this big event, there were a lot of children there who wanted to win with the German enemy...a lot of children perished then.
So, this monument, the monument of small insurgent is the homage to all children of this Big Event which was Warsaw's Uprising.
It is of the most moved monuments which I have ever seen...
A small boy in too big helmet and with the big rifle in his small hands..... Leave a Comment Address: ulica Podwale (Podwale street)Directions: between Waski Dunaj street and Szeroki Dunaj street

 Monument to Jan Matejko,
the great Polish painter by evaanna,
2 more photos
The figure sitting at his feet is that of Stańczyk, a famous jester and the subject of one of Matejko's early paintings. Stanczyk is shown in the painting as meditating on the future of his homeland while the others at the court, including Queen Bona Sforza, do not care about the recent bad news of Smolensk being taken over by the Russians and are enjoying the ball.
Stanczyk is known for his facetious but true comments made at the court, and is the subject of many historical anecdotes. Here is one: Witnessing the king having leeches applied to his body, which was a common way of treatment in those days, Stanczyk commented: 'They are indeed the most loyal of your friends and courtiers, Your Highness'. Doesn't he deserve a monument as well? Leave a Comment Address: 55, Pulawska St
