Xth Pavilion of the Citadel Warsaw, History museum in Żoliborz district, Poland.

The Xth Pavilion stands as a two-story military structure within the Warsaw Citadel complex, featuring thick walls and barred windows from its prison past.

Between 1834 and 1915, this pavilion functioned as a detention center where Russian authorities imprisoned over 40,000 individuals who opposed their rule.

The museum displays cells, interrogation rooms, and personal belongings of prisoners, including manuscripts and letters that document their experiences during incarceration.

Visitors can reach the museum by taking tram lines 1 and 4 to the Cytadela stop, with guided tours available in multiple languages upon reservation.

The building contains preserved prisoner inscriptions on cell walls, recording names, dates, and messages from individuals who faced imprisonment or execution.
