Park Cytadela

Park Cytadela is a large green space north of Poznań's city center, built on the site of a former military fort. It features walking paths, two museums displaying military collections, several monuments, and cemeteries across its grounds.

This site began as Fort Winiary, built by Prussia between 1828 and 1839 as a military stronghold that lasted until 1945. After the war, the grounds became a public park that preserves its military past.

The park honors those who died here during World War II through memorials and cemeteries that visitors encounter along the paths. These spaces carry weight for the city and for people who come to remember.

The park is accessible from several entrances along Armii Poznań Avenue, with parking areas and tram stops near the gates. The flat paths and open spaces are easy to walk through and ideal for a leisurely visit to explore the different zones.

Visitors encounter a striking art installation by Magdalena Abakanowicz consisting of 112 cast iron figures arranged in rows across the landscape. This silent artwork creates a thoughtful mood that catches the eye as you walk through the grounds.
