Maria, Natural monument tree in Ochota district, Warsaw, Poland.

The Maria sycamore tree stands 21 meters tall in the Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology park, providing shade to visitors and patients.

Maria Sklodowska-Curie planted this sycamore tree during the opening ceremony of the Radium Institute on May 29, 1932, marking a significant scientific milestone.

The tree represents the connection between Polish scientific achievement and medical advancement, situated near the institute dedicated to cancer research and treatment.

The sycamore tree maintains its protected status as a natural monument, requiring special maintenance and conservation measures to preserve its historical significance.

This living memorial serves as a direct physical link to Maria Sklodowska-Curie, the first person to receive Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.
