Cieszyn Nike, War memorial in Cieszyn, Poland
The bronze and granite Nike monument displays a figure on a high pedestal with commemorative plaques detailing the Silesian Legion's combat history.
The original monument, erected between 1934 and 1939, was destroyed by Nazi forces in 1939 and reconstructed in 2005 based on historical documentation.
The monument features sixteen cartouches listing locations where the Silesian Legion fought, including battles from the Polish-Czechoslovak War of 1919-1920.
