Fort Śliwického, Military fort in Praga-Północ, Warsaw, Poland.

Fort Śliwickiego consists of earthen-brick structures with two gun emplacements, surrounded by a wet moat and masonry counter-scarp walls.

The fort, constructed between 1835 and 1836, served as the first forward base of the Warsaw Citadel during the Russian control period.

The fort bears the name of Second Lieutenant Julian Śliwicki, who sustained fatal injuries fighting for Russian forces in the November Uprising.

The fort grounds now contain residential buildings for police officers, with some structures dating back to construction between 1976 and 1977.

The southern gun emplacement underwent renovation by ZOMO units through community work, commemorated by a plaque within the fort complex.
