Monument to the Heroes of Warsaw, War memorial statue in central Warsaw, Poland.
The Monument to the Heroes of Warsaw features a large bronze figure of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, raising a sword with her right hand.
The monument, unveiled in 1964, stands as a testament to the citizens who defended Warsaw during World War II from 1939 to 1945.
The statue represents the determination of Polish citizens through its depiction of Nike, embodying the spirit of resistance against oppression.
Located at the intersection of Nowy Przejazd and Aleja Solidarności, the monument rises 14 meters high and weighs approximately 10 tons.
The sword held by Nike required special engineering considerations during construction, as this single element weighs 1000 kilograms.
