Żoliborz, Northern district in Warsaw, Poland

Żoliborz extends over 8.3 square kilometers with 250 hectares of green spaces, making it one of the smallest districts in Warsaw with 50,000 inhabitants.

The name originates from the French phrase Joli Bord, meaning Beautiful Bank, given by Piarist monks who owned the land in the 18th century.

The district includes distinct neighborhoods named after professional groups: Journalists' Żoliborz, Officers' Żoliborz, and Clerks' Żoliborz, reflecting its intellectual heritage.

The area connects to central Warsaw through multiple transport options, including metro line 1 at Wilson Square station, tram lines, and bus services.

Saint Stanislaus Kostka Church contains the tomb of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko, which has received 20 million visitors in three decades.
