Saxon Axis, Urban planning complex in Warsaw, Poland

The Saxon Axis extends from Krakowskie Przedmieście to Iron Gate Square through Saxon Garden, measuring approximately 1650 meters in length.

The development of this urban layout started in 1713 under Augustus II the Strong, marking the first large-scale regulatory project in Warsaw.

The central section of Saxon Garden opened to Warsaw residents in 1727, featuring numerous statues of classical figures throughout its grounds.

The axis connects multiple historical buildings and monuments, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the reconstructed Saxon Palace.

The project merged residential, military, and communication functions into one architectural complex, transforming the western district of Warsaw.
