Wilson Square, Square in Żoliborz, Warsaw, Poland

Wilson Square is a roundabout and public square in the Żoliborz district of Warsaw, Poland. It is surrounded by roads and greenery, with a metro station beneath and a park entrance at its southeast corner.

The square was laid out around 1923 and first named after the writer Stefan Żeromski. In 1926 it was renamed to honor Thomas Woodrow Wilson, the US president who supported Polish independence, and after World War II it briefly bore the name Paris Commune Square before reverting to Wilson in 1990.

Locals often call the square simply Plac Wilsona, and the name is pronounced in a Polish way, with a soft W. The square is a meeting point for residents, who gather near the metro entrance or walk through on their way to the nearby park.

The square is easy to reach on foot or by public transport, with buses, trams, and a metro station stopping right there. Use the crossings around the roundabout to move between the central green and the surrounding streets.

During the German occupation in 1943, a loudspeaker on the square broadcast a patriotic program that ended with the Polish anthem, and the news spread quickly through the city. The event was heard by people gathered there, including a group of German soldiers.
