    The Symbolic monument to nameless heroes fallen in fight for Poland\'s freedom. Located in an arcade fragment of the destroyed Saski Palace. On November 2nd, 1925, interred here were the ashes of an Unknown Soldier from Łyczakowski Cemetery, defender of Lvov, and the urns with earth from the World War I battlefields. The Palace destroyed in 1944. The rebuilt monument contains urns of earth from all the 20th century battlefields on which Poles had fought and died.

    The arch is all that remains of the Saxon Palace that was destroyed during the war. On 2 November 1925 an unknown victim of the defence of Lvov was buried here.

    The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is dedicated to all Polish soldiers who died in battle and their place of burial is unknown. It is situated under what has remained of the great palace and walls that used to stand here before WW2, originally built by king Augustus II of Saxony.
    Every day at 12:00 (midday) you can see the change of the guards, a tradition kept and cherished.
    On August 15 every year, the day of the Polish armed forces, the central ceremony is conducted here.

    Urns hold earth from the graves of the Polish soldiers murdered in Katyn, and from the battlefields marked by the Polish blood. They were places here after World War II.

    It lies the grave of the Unknown Soldier with its eternal flame. The names of battles are engraved on the pillars. A smart honor guard stands there day and night.

    Through the grille behind the Unknown Soldier we have a vista of Ogród Saski.

    Warsaw's largest open square:Plac Pilsudskiego - Pilsudski Square - often used for parades.

    Poland has its own Unknown Soldier, whose guarded tomb can be seen in the center of Marshall Jozef Pilsudski Square which fronts the elegant Saxon Gardens.

    At 12:00, watch the changing of the guards at the Grób Nieznanego Zolnierza (aka Tomb of the Unknown Soldier)
    Beneath the arches, there is an eternal flame to commemorate those unnamed soldiers who fought and died in the war. It is interesting to watch the changing of the guards because they stomp very loudly and seriously across the square in communist-like costumes and boots.

    Behind the tomb is the most wonderful garden with exquisite water features and statues. It was a public holiday when we were there, and they had a brass band playing there and it seemed to me like half of Warsaw was in the garden enjoying it with their families.
