Adam Mickiewicz Monument, Warsaw, Bronze monument at Krakowskie Przedmiescie, Poland

The 4.5-meter bronze statue shows Adam Mickiewicz wearing a formal coat, standing atop a granite base with architectural elements in pink and gray tones.

The monument, unveiled in December 1898 to commemorate the poet's centenary, was later dismantled during World War II and reconstructed in January 1950.

Students gathered at the monument in January 1968 to protest against the government's decision to cancel performances of Mickiewicz's play Dziady.

The monument serves as a central meeting point in Warsaw, located near the Royal Castle and the University of Warsaw main campus.

The statue's pedestal combines two distinct types of granite from Baveno quarries in Piedmont, creating a gradual color transition effect.
