Bank Square, Public square in downtown Warsaw, Poland
Bank Square is a rectangular public plaza in downtown Warsaw surrounded by administrative buildings and modern office towers. The space combines historical and contemporary architecture in a single setting.
The plaza emerged in the 19th century during the Congress Kingdom period, featuring notable buildings designed by architect Antonio Corazzi. It underwent significant changes after the fall of communism in Poland.
The square takes its name from a bank that once operated here and shaped the area's identity. Today it serves as a meeting point where the city's transformation from one era to another is visible in the buildings surrounding it.
The area serves as a major transportation hub with metro stations, bus stops, and tram connections. You can easily reach it from different parts of the city.
A monument to poet Juliusz Słowacki was unveiled here in 2001, replacing an earlier Soviet-era statue. This change symbolizes Warsaw's shift toward a new political direction.
