Monument to Mickiewicz, Bronze monument in 8th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Monument to Mickiewicz features six bas-reliefs on its base and culminates with a high-relief called The Polish Epic at the upper section.
The French-Polish committee commissioned this monument in 1909, but its inauguration took place on April 28, 1929, at Place de l'Alma in Paris.
The sculpture commemorates Adam Mickiewicz, a Polish Romantic poet who taught Slavic literature at the College de France during the 1840s.
The monument stands on cours Albert-Ier, accessible from multiple metro stations and visible from the Seine river's left bank.
The granite base of the monument originates from the Carpathian Mountains, incorporating materials from Polish territory into its construction.
