The Warsaw Uprising Monument stands as a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of Polish resistance fighters during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. Unveiled in 1989, this landmark is centrally located in Warsaw, serving as a poignant reminder of the city’s resilience and rich history.
Designed by Jacek Budyn and sculpted by Wincenty Kućma, the monument honors those who fought against Nazi forces in one of World War II’s largest urban uprisings. The uprising spanned from August 1 to October 2, 1944, leading to significant loss and destruction. Political factors delayed the monument’s creation until Poland’s communist government approved its construction in 1988.
Located near the Old Town, the monument is easily reachable by public transport. Visitors can take buses or trams to Krasiński Square or enjoy a short walk from the Ratusz Arsenał metro station.
Visiting the Warsaw Uprising Monument is free of charge.
