Electio Viritim Monument, Historical memorial obelisk in Wola district, Warsaw, Poland
The granite column stands at the intersection of Młynarska, Jana Ostroroga, and Obozowa streets, crowned with a bronze royal crown at its summit.
Between 1575 and 1764, ten Polish kings were elected at this location during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth through a direct voting system called Electio Viritim.
The monument features a relief depicting three figures from Bernardo Bellotto's 1778 painting of King Stanisław August's election ceremony.
Located at Jana Ostroroga 10 in Warsaw, the monument was constructed using granite from the demolished Kronenberg Palace, which burned down in September 1939.
The monument, unveiled on June 19, 1997, marks the exact spot where the senators' shed and knights' circle gathered for royal elections.
