Maria, Natural monument tree in Ochota district, Warsaw, Poland.
Maria is a sycamore tree and natural monument located in the park of the National Research Institute of Oncology in Warsaw, standing approximately 21 meters tall. Its broad branches provide expansive shade and create a quiet area within the institute complex.
The tree was planted by Maria Sklodowska-Curie herself during the opening ceremony of the Radium Institute on May 29, 1932. This event marked an important moment in the history of Polish science and medical research.
The tree carries the name of Maria Sklodowska-Curie and stands in the park of the cancer research institute, where it welcomes patients and visitors with its shade. It connects Polish scientific history to the everyday experience of people who pass by.
The tree is located within the institute grounds and is accessible during normal park visiting hours. Visitors should note that the location remains an active research and treatment center, so respect for the setting is important.
This memorial preserves more than just the memory of a celebrated scientist but shows how a tree can become part of a medical institution over decades. The connection between nature and scientific progress becomes tangible here in an unusual way.
