Kopiec Esterki, Monument in Podgórze district, Kraków, Poland.

A historical mound located near the right bank of the Vistula River reached a height of approximately 7 meters before its removal in the 1950s.

The construction of this mound dates back to the 14th century, reportedly commissioned by King Casimir the Great to honor his connection with Esterka.

The monument represents a significant example of medieval burial mounds in Poland, connecting with traditions of commemorative earthworks across different periods.

The former location of the mound near current Głowackiego Street in the Łobzów area remains marked by a chestnut tree and historical documentation.

Archaeological studies conducted at the site revealed no human remains, leading researchers to question its intended purpose as a burial structure.
